2 Answers
Mercedes-Benz is equipped with autonomous driving assistance features. The main assistance functions include radar distance measurement (Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC), Active Brake Assist with cross-traffic function, Pre-Safe Impulse Side with pedestrian recognition, Pre-Safe Plus (rear-end collision detection), Active Blind Spot Assist, Active Lane Keeping Assist, and Speed Limit Assist. Introduction to Autonomous Driving Assistance: It utilizes various sensors on the vehicle to continuously monitor the surrounding environment during driving, collect data, and perform systematic calculations and analysis in combination with navigation map data. Advantages of Autonomous Driving Assistance: It is a driving assistance system that proactively alerts the driver to potential hazards, effectively enhancing driving comfort and safety.
As a young person who enjoys driving, I think Mercedes-Benz does offer some autonomous driving features, but it's important to note that this isn't full self-driving. Their DRIVE PILOT system, available on high-end models like the EQS, can automatically steer, accelerate, and brake on highways, which makes long trips less tiring for me. However, it only works under specific conditions, such as within speed limits, and can't be used on city streets. A friend told me the technology is quite safe, using radar and cameras for monitoring, but you still need to keep an eye on the steering wheel and can't play with your phone. Additionally, Mercedes' MBUX system can intelligently assist with parking. Overall, it's a great feature that enhances the driving experience, but always remember it's just an assistant—safety responsibility still lies with you.
