Mercedes EQE Digital Light Projection

Digital light projections in action on a Mercedes EQE

Why does it flash the truck in front so often? My Audi's Matrix lights do that sometimes, but only when a Mercedes is in front 😂

I can’t wait to be involved in a minor fender bender and have to pay 10k for new headlights

[lokon]

Why do I want my car to tell me to change lane? Or it flash that when I turn on my turn signal, so that I won’t forget that I was going to change lane? I’m completely baffled

[petrpohnan]

I am amazed how poorly the Matrix function works in the newest Mercedes. Note how high beams "flash" the truck in front of him couple of times. Very disruptive and illogical.
I am driving 3 years old Matrix design from VW and never noticed such a strange and wrong behavior.

[romansenger]

The non existant value lets me think they build that and only afterwards they asked themselves why

[commodorenut]

Talk about dumbing down the driver. Drivers already don’t pay enough attention to the conditions around them, and now they’ll be even more lax because “the car does it for me”. More zombies behind the wheel.

Were you forced to pay a shitload of money for this feature or decided by yourself?

[tommydaily]

Are the road projections legal in the US?

[glennduncan]

At least the lights work. Great consolation when sitting in the MB service area waiting for this piece of junk to be repaired - again.

This just looks like it’s doing too much, hard to tell from the video but it seems like it’s constantly doing something.

[DeenaMilkers]

why is Mercedes (and other perceived luxury vehicle brands) obsessed with creating every more blindingly bright products? what is the appeal?

[chdoors]

I own an EQE, and the 12-month Digital Light subscription here costs €159. I considered trying the trial, but after seeing the video, no thanks. I expected it to be far more advanced (and useful) than this.

It looks like this stuff needs a lot of improvement to be really useful.

Ooooh I have a Auto Park function lol!! 😂 welcome back to 2010

[spitymaeh]

Haben die aber fein von Audi kopiert Danke dafür.

[APAstronaut]

Now if only the car in question didn’t look like a sculpted dog turd they may be on to something

[ahmadahmal]

All these features can be found in many Chinese electric car like for example the HiPhi X which was released 3 years ago, Mercedes are copying HiPhi X!

When searching for a new replacement for my old Toyota Yaris, I was browsing the whole market especially for something similar in size but way more powerful, combining supermarket and short distances 200km to 350km...for longer trips using my RAV4. The prices on some of the options from Mercedes and Mini were ridiculous, around more than 70k Euro/75k$...the price for a full option Clubman....or a Merc A 250...unfortunately Mini are famous for their unreliability and so is Mercedes in the past years...to pay this money and then to stress myself that I would have service the car regularly would have been stupid of me....ended up buying a Yaris Cross for 40k....in 13y of owning a Toyota I have never taken one in service except for oil and filter change...Yes no blink blink no bells and whistles but no BS either...I have all the safety packages just as my 7y old RAV4 4x4 the only difference is HUD and HOLD on the newer...the rest is the same...driving assistant..lane assist...BSM...adaptive cruise control...alerts when I am tired, sound and visual and vibration in the wheel..heated seats...etc etc etc plus 5 NCAP stars on both cars....I don't fly so I drive a lot from Scotland to Romania and from Germany to Spain and Italy...I don't need blink blink I need reliability for that....but still 70k to 90k or more for a small car that you will use mostly for short commutes and Supermarket ...and service.... is just stupid....and seeing this video I know why....if these European powerhouse don't wake up from their dream of making ridiculous expensive vehicles for just a small percentage of the market, they will soon fail....the competition is crazy good these days and prices on some models are just right so this greedy frenzy will be their doom... and I don't want that as this will mean disaster for EU's economy...

ja herzlichen glückwunsch. schön mit fernlicht auf der autobahn den gegenverkehr blenden.
die automatik erkennt nämlich auf die distanz die LKWs nicht und die freuen sich dann richtig...
kleiner tipp: auf autobahnen einfach fernlicht aus.
