Mercedes, a German automobile manufacturer is setting up its
goal to build autonomous cars which will act like a smart assistant to the
owners.
Mercedes has a future vision of getting more and more
innovative technology into its car which will make its cars apart from the
other automobile manufacturers. The car manufacturers in the world are in race
to gain success in the driverless car technology. Many trials of driverless
cars are being done in different world class cities.
According to Autocar
UK, Daimler's chairman of the board of directors, Dr Dieter Zetsche, has
revealed that Mercedes-Benz wants to createautonomous cars which
will act like a personal assistant. Dr. Zetsche told in IFA, Berlin that the
companyis coming up with new developments which allows the cars to communicate,
sense the surroundings and allot a parking space for itself. The feature of
connectivity between the cars helps the cars to find new and nearest parking
spots. As per Dr.Zetsche, the parking technology is a short term goal and can
be achieved soon in the company's cars.
Dr. Zetsche said "We've already begun testing
community-based parking in Stuttgart together with our partners at
Bosch," and "It works using car sensors that can find empty
spaces along a road and then share the information with the Mercedes back-end database.
That information is then shared with other Mercedes cars."
The new feature likely to achieve is the personnel assistant
job which the car will do to the owner by knowing the navigational
destinations, works allotted, setting up meeting calls and reminding about the
appointments and much-more.
Dr Zetsche said "Everyone is talking about digitalization
and connected cars,"
"But software alone will not be able to take you from A
to B. It is the total package that will take you from A to B."
According to The
Motor Report, Mercedes Benz vehicles will include health and wellbeing
sensors which monitor the passenger's health issues and provide warnings for
the health problems and adjust its internal condition based on the
passenger's health.
It adjusts its interior temperature, ambient
lighting, or seat massage, with a goal of ultimate comfort to the passengers.
"It's our goal that a passenger gets out of a Mercedes
in better condition than when they got in," he explained. "The car
will use its sensors to monitor the health and wellbeing of passengers, and
then adjust settings to improve your situation and blood
pressure."
According to Autocar
UK, Dr. Zetsche said "We do not know exactly what the car will look
like in 10 years from now, but we do know it will be of greater value for all
of us," and he added "That's why our cars have begun to become
quality time machines, to hand back time to let you do what you want.
"But that time will always include driving a car for
pure pleasure. We will certainly never forget that at Mercedes," he
concluded.
