This sophisticated technology is designed to warn drivers of impending danger or traffic problems on the road ahead, giving them enough time to avoid or even prevent a crash.<\/p>\n<p>The technology is based on a system of wireless sensors that establish networked links between vehicles, as well as between vehicles and traffic infrastructure. This allows the vehicle to \u201csee\u201d potential hazards before they are perceived by the driver \u2013 for example wrong-way drivers, a broken-down car or dangerous road conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike conventional sensors, \u201cthis has the advantage that we are able to obtain information from points far outside the driver\u2019s field of vision\u201d, explains Dr. Christian Weiss, head of Car-to-X Communication at Mercedes-Benz Development.<\/p>\n<p>Car-to-X Communication will initially be deployed as part of Mercedes-Benz\u2019s Drive Kit Plus, which in combination with a smartphone and our Digital DriveStyle app, turns each vehicle into a simultaneous transmitter and receiver of up-to-the-minute information.<\/p>\n<p>This information is then integrated with new assistance systems that complement the car\u2019s \u201cIntelligent Drive\u201d strategy, enhancing both safety and efficiency for all road users.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mercedes-Benz is set to make driving driving safer and more efficient than ever before with the introduction of new revolutionary technology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[40],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3973","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-mercedes-benz"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.5 -
