Mercedes F 015 Luxury: auto-driving on the road

The high-strength body of the F 015 Luxury in Motion ensures optimum safety and supreme comfort for its passengers. At the same time, the bodyshell's structure provides the ideal basis for the door concept that makes getting in and out especially easy, and for the communication-oriented seating featuring four lounge chairs in a face-to-face arrangement.
New materials and structures were used to develop the highly efficient "Smart Body Structure (SBS)" of the F 015. By cleverly combining carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP), aluminium and high-strength steels in a way that matches the varying requirements exactly, the lightweight engineering experts were able to make the bodyshell 40 percent lighter compared with today's production vehicles.
As a foundation for creating the F 015 Luxury in Motion, experts from all areas of Mercedes-Benz developed a future scenario entitled "City of the Future 2030+", which considered many aspects of mobile living.
The greater the advance of urbanisation, the greater is the desire of the individual to be able to retreat to a private sphere. Autonomous driving will become a given.
As drivers are relieved of work and stress in situations in which driving is not enjoyable, the time gained while in their car takes on a whole new quality. Time and space will become the luxury of the future.
New technologies and forms of communication open up numerous new possibilities for interaction, both between the vehicle and its passengers and between the vehicle and other road users.
Autonomous cars also open up new possibilities for urban infrastructure design. Following the example of today's low-emission zones in city centres, special "safety zones" that are only accessible to autonomous vehicles could be created. Urban space would be regained by autonomous vehicles parking themselves on the periphery.
In the shared space of the future, humans and machines share the roads. The "car-friendly city" is transformed increasingly into the "people-friendly city" without any loss of individual freedom. The divide between residential, recreational and traffic areas therefore melts away. The result is superior quality of life for all urban dwellers.

Go ahead, it's free!

All the Best.

I hope there is still a manual option when these kinds of cars come out. I love driving, I don't want some computer to drive around for me. Otherwise, I may as well just walk...

[jacoblee]

LMAO at the repair costs if any of these gizmos break.

[Chasingbuildsnyc]

if this is what the future holds for motor vehicles i don't wanna be in it

[newmabreu]

[Spacemanxful]

What ist this Thing? Some balls on the door? That shold entertain? OMG!!!!

[therawtruth]

Looks like some sort of war machine, but not quite luxury.

[constantinconstantin]

sits are to low, knees are way above the hips and it is very, very bad for the spine. You cant extend your legs, unless you bumb into the opposite person. touch screen is to low, how are you going to look all the time down right and twisting your wrist, to much effort, you dont enjoy driving. It is like constantly looking at your mobile, horrible interior, no luxuy, nor comfort, no mind gadgets...not even for free would own it

[NintendoDudeWii]

One of the UGLIEST things that could possibly ever be on the road.

[TheAussieRod]

Nothing exciting here. Is this the egocentric nerd dream? Plus, if you don't need a driver, make a bus, not a car

[borkata]

This car is for Rockefeller. Thats why its so ugly

[justinstark]

That vehicle(not even deserving the title of car) is ugly. That's all I have to say.
