No excuse for the Benz-driving linksplakkers!

Mercedes is going on the new E-Class a new trick introduce: active rijbaanwisselassist (yes, it’s called really). Autonomous driving was on highways to some extent already possible by active cruise control and lane assist, but to catch up, you had yet to do for ourselves. But also there is thanks to the clever heads from Stuttgart to change that.

All automagically gets the new E-Class is still not in, but very much input is there from the driver is not necessary. Two seconds you turn down, thats it. The car scans down the lane to the left or to the right of you and will be with sufficient safe space in the car lane to do the swap. Both catch-up as a back insert on the right-hand lane are possible.

The system works only on roads with multiple lanes in the same direction, the information that the car out of the Command navigation system. Nice is that the system is not lafjes works up to 120 or 130 km/h, but at all speeds between 80 and 180 km/h. An ideal feature for the Autobahn!

Furthermore, it is of course yet another teaser for the new E-Class, shoot that thing well just online Mercedes…
