  • Mercedes Benz to implement Auto-Swerve Technology as early as 2015

    MercedesTalk
    21 Jan 2010 | 7:02 am
    German carmaker Mercedes-Benz is developing an enhanced safety system which will automatically swerve around pedestrians to avoid road mishaps. The head of safety development, Ulrich Mellinghoff, foresees that the technology will be available as soon as 2015. During the Detroit Auto Show, Mellinghoff explained that around 80% of the accidents on the road involving people entail only 20% of the car’s front hitting the pedestrian. They did the math and studies show that it will only take a Mercedes Benz to swerve by 40 to 50 centimeters to avoid the pedestrian detected by the safety system.

The EVs have a modular build allowing sharing of technology and architecture. The BlueZero still works the same way but Mercedes-Benz added E-CELL PLUS, a combustion engine to the package.

    If we’re talking about modified cars, Mercedez Benz models are not new to this arena. In fact, in the past few years, it has become one of the tuners’ favorite models to prep not just for showcase purposes but also for professional races. However, modified cars look just about the same: flashy wheels with enough bling to make the blind see, kick-ass body kits, and last but not definitely not the least, more power. Tuning company Lorinser adapts this age-old formula for almost all the cars it modifies, and, ironically, comes up with models not too far from their original state.
