When it comes to communication technology, Mercedes-Benz is definitely ahead of the game. In fact, we never seem to run out of news to report on our blog with all of the latest updates regarding new developments. One of the latest further shows that the automaker time and time again is able to bring innovation to a whole new level.
Mercedes-Benz recently announced that it would be launching a new Car-2-Car communication system in Germany later this year. Once the technology is released, we have our fingers crossed that it will them become available to other markets like the United States as well.
The system enables drivers to exchange information between vehicles. It relies on an installed app instead of a dedicated system, meaning it will work with a smartphone and allow customers who already own a Mercedes-Benz vehicle to enjoy the benefits of this technology.
When would drivers need to use the system? The main purpose is to allow drivers to alert others of safety hazards on the road. Once a warning sign appears on the navigation screen, other drivers in the area can take caution. In the future, new Mercedes-Benz models will be equipped with sensors and radars that will allow the car to automatically detect hazards.
In the event that dangers fail to become detected by the vehicle, drivers can simply press a button when they encounter animals in the road, wrong-way drivers, or other roadblocks. This will immediately alert system users within the vicinity of the nearby situation.
