Mercedes-Benz to introduce new App for Apple Watch

Published on May 15, 2015

Mercedes-Benz C 220 BlueTEC: Fuel consumption, combined cycle: 4.5 - 4.0 l/100 km; CO2 emission, combined: 117 - 103 g/km*

Mercedes-Benz creates an intelligent integration between Apple Watch and Mercedes-Benz vehicles with its new MB Companion App. The MB Companion App allows Mercedes-Benz customers to search for directions on the Apple Watch or on iPhone initiating a complete door-to-door experience. A seamless integration unfolds: giving walking directions to the car on the Apple Watch, driving directions on the vehicle navigation system and again walking directions on the Apple Watch from the car to the final destination.

The new Mercedes-Benz C-Class and S-Class vehicles equipped with COMAND Online will be able to work with the MB Companion App as of fall 2015. Further models will follow soon. By then, the MB Companion App will also enable drivers to find vehicle information such as Fuel Level, Range, Maintenance Code, and Odometer Readings on Apple Wa

2016 Mercedes E-Class - Demo of Remote Parking Pilot

Published on Jul 8, 2015

Thanks to remote control using a smartphone app, the Remote Parking Pilot makes it easier to move into and out of tight parking spaces or the garage.

Parking can be a nightmare when the vehicle alongside has parked so tight that it is impossible to open the door of your own car. A common occurrence in car parks where space is at a premium. Also some garages are so narrow that getting in and out of the car can be a real chore and cause scratching of the paintwork. Mercedes-Benz has the solution to these unfortunate situations: a remote-control system for moving into and out of parking spaces, available for the first time. It's called the Remote Parking Pilot, and is controlled from outside the vehicle by smartphone via Bluetooth.

Particularly beneficial for people with restricted mobility, the Remote Parking Pilot allows the vehicle to be remotely manoeuvred into a position that facilitates getting into and out of the car. Parents can also benefit greatly as they no longer need to leave young children waiting by the parking spot or at the side of the road while they manoeuvre into a tight space. With the Remote Parking Pilot, the whole family can wait safely until the vehicle is in a position that allows them to get in or out safely.

To use this convenience-enhancing system, the driver's smartphone must be within around three metres of the vehicle. Operation is via a smartphone app (Android, iOS) available for download from the various app stores. The driver must unlock the vehicle before it is moved out of the parking space. He or she can then establish a connection with their already authorised smartphone and select one of the available manoeuvres for guiding the car out of the parking space. Likewise prior to parking, the driver can select one of the parking scenarios – for example parallel or perpendicular parking spaces, left or right, forward or reverse.

The vehicle can then be moved by control from outside. The parking scenario is enacted automatically - including steering, braking and gear direction changes - as long as the driver continues to provide a confirmation gesture on the smartphone. The driver monitors the process from outside the vehicle and still has complete responsibility for their vehicle during the entire parking process.

In addition to the parking scenarios, there is an Explore Mode available, which allows the vehicle to be manoeuvred up to ten metres forward or backward, avoiding detected obstacles as it moves – when driving into a garage, for example.

The Remote Parking Pilot can only operate in conjunction with the Parking Pilot PARKTRONIC's ultrasonic sensors. The newly developed system from Mercedes-Benz is available in conjunction with the optional Parking Pilot with 360° camera, KEYLESS-GO system and automatic transmission.

These self-driving cars will kill pedestrians over drivers

Published on Oct 25, 2016

Should self-driving cars protect pedestrians? According to Mercedes...anyone but the passenger might be SOL. Does it make sense? Kim Horcher and Meredith Placko (Host, Writer) discuss!

"When Mercedes-Benz starts selling self-driving cars, it will choose to prioritize driver safety over pedestrians, a company manager has confirmed. The ethical conundrum of how A.I.-powered machines should act in life-or-death situations has received more scrutiny as driverless cars become a reality, but the car manufacturer believes that it’s safer to save the life you have greater control over."

60 seconds | S-Class drives off the rider without a driver

Published on Jul 3, 2017

S 560 4MATIC: Fuel consumption combined: 8.5 l/100 km; combined CO₂ emissions: 195 g/km.*

Mercedes-Benz is entering a new dimension of motoring with its new S-Class and is raising the bar, in terms of production, for the automotive industry worldwide. For the official start-up of the luxury saloon in the Mercedes-Benz plant Sindelfingen a S Class drove independently off the final assembly line, without a driver at the wheel. The vehicle then drove automatically approximately 1.5 kilometres to the loading area within the plant. The Sindelfingen plant is piloting the possible use of the system for series production and investigating its further potential.

The future of last mile logistics with CoROS and the Speed Delivery Door

Published on Sep 24, 2018

Mercedes-Benz Vans is presenting two new solutions for the courier, express and parcel industry. See how technology safes time in this video.

Introducting CoROS:
The Cargo Recognition and Organization System, or CoROS, transforms Mercedes-Benz Vans into an intelligent cargo space via computer vision and artificial intelligence. CoROS automates labor-intensive processes throughout the last mile and tracks cargo from distribution hub to doorstep.

The new Speed Delivery Door:
The sensor-controlled, automatic two-wing pivoting door 1 can be installed upon request in place of the sliding door on the side of the load area. Initial customer testings with large national and international courier-, express- and parcel service providers have demonstrated added value in the fields of ergonomics and time savings as a result of a reduction in the number of work steps involved, as well as increased safety for driver e.g. by a better view to outside and theft protection of load.

Please note: Some features are in the state of prototype. Series production may vary. For your reference only.
