Some people just have no respect for the Mercedes engineers who spend hundreds--if not thousands--of hours testing and tuning the carmaker's products for the best performance. And that's actually a good thing! Because if there were no tuners like RENNtech who seek to obtain the ultimate performance from cars they lay their hands on, we wouldn't be seeing this video.

With the new COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST that will be launched and used, first by the Mercedes B-Class, the reliable airbag is going to be just a secondary protection. For 30 years, the airbag has been helpful in protecting vehicle owners, but as new systems get invented, it has to be replaced.

Watch the video, a sort of a "tribute" to the ever useful airbag.

Remember the Seinfeld episode where Jerry's girlfriend Gwen's attractiveness waxes and wanes depending on the lighting? Well, the Mercedes concept for the S Class model in 2025 has a similar problem--from certain angles, it looks quite sleek, but from others, in particular the side view, it looks awkward, uninteresting, and simply too long.

Consumers are increasingly being flooded with a variety of options to access all types of media: from music and movies to news and traffic to weather and road directions. At the same time, Americans are averaging 13,000 miles per year of driving, and so are obviously spending a lot of time behind the wheel. For now, consumers can plug in their devices into their cars but often need special adapters and it can get complicated since oftentimes, each device serves a different purpose. Consequently, automakers, including Mercedes-Benz, are starting to think of the car as an actual media device that can access all kinds of media and information through the "digital cloud." Mercedes has also pioneered a sensor mechanism to detect drowsiness on the part of the driver through a system called Attention Assist.
