Autonomous Driving.

Autonomous driving is redefining the role of the automobile. It will not only enhance safety and comfort, but also provide us with more free time which was previously spent driving.

The pioneer in automated driving and safety.

Mercedes Benz has consistently set benchmarks through numerous technical innovations since inventing the car in 1886. For example, Mercedes Benz has offered advanced driver assistance systems (SAE-Level 2) in its vehicles for years. These systems simplify everyday driving by assisting with speed and distance control, steering and lane changes. With the introduction of MB.OS and MB.DRIVE, even more advanced driver assistance systems like MB.DRIVE ASSIST PRO for seamless point-to-point navigation are now available in current models in some markets. In December 2021, Mercedes Benz was the first car manufacturer worldwide to receive an internationally valid system approval for conditionally automated driving. DRIVE PILOT is the world's fastest SAE-Level 3 system, and in the next five years, Mercedes Benz targets to offer a version capable of driving at speeds of 130 km/h.
