Mercedes-Benz and BMW are both German automobile brands. Here is an introduction about Mercedes-Benz and BMW: 1. Mercedes-Benz: Founded in 1900, headquartered in Stuttgart, and created by Karl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler. Mercedes-Benz is renowned worldwide for its high-quality and high-performance automotive products. In addition to premium luxury cars, Mercedes-Benz is also one of the most famous manufacturers of large passenger buses and heavy-duty trucks. 2. BMW: BMW is one of the three major German luxury brands. BMW's vehicle series include 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, i, X, Z, I, and others, as well as the M series (BMW's official high-performance modification division) based on improvements to each series. BMW was founded in 1916 and is headquartered in Munich, Germany. The blue and white logo of BMW represents the colors of the Bavarian state flag where BMW's headquarters is located. Over the past century, BMW has evolved from an aircraft engine manufacturer into a leading enterprise group specializing in premium cars, as well as globally renowned aircraft engines, off-road vehicles, and motorcycles, ranking among the top automobile companies in the world. BMW is also translated as "Bayerische" in some contexts.

When it comes to the history of Mercedes-Benz and BMW, they are undoubtedly masterpieces of the German automotive industry. Mercedes-Benz was founded by Karl Benz, who invented the first car in 1886, with its headquarters in Stuttgart; BMW was established in Munich in 1916, focusing on engine technology. As the pride of German car manufacturing, they emphasize precision engineering and reliability. I’ve test-driven them multiple times—the smooth acceleration and low failure rate give you peace of mind while driving. The entire German automotive industry prioritizes high-quality standards, such as strict quality control and durable design, making them stand out whether on city streets or highways. Mercedes-Benz has its AMG performance line, while BMW boasts the M series, both delivering exceptional track performance. They have a global fanbase and a significant market share in China, with models ranging from the S-Class to the X series being highly trustworthy. Buying a German car isn’t just about the brand—it’s about the heritage and safety they represent.

Which Vehicle Has the Right of Way When Meeting on a Slope?

According to the Road Traffic Safety Law, when two vehicles meet on a narrow slope: if neither vehicle has entered the slope, the downhill vehicle should yield to the uphill vehicle. If the downhill vehicle has already entered the slope while the uphill vehicle has not, the downhill vehicle has the right of way. If both vehicles have entered the slope and one needs to reverse to avoid collision, the uphill vehicle should reverse, as it is easier for an uphill vehicle to reverse. In any case, the vehicle that can reverse more easily should do so. Relevant regulations: Right of way conditions: slow down and keep to the right, maintaining a safe distance from other vehicles and pedestrians; on obstructed road sections, the unobstructed vehicle has the right of way; but if the obstructed vehicle has already entered the obstructed section while the unobstructed vehicle has not, the obstructed vehicle has the right of way; on narrow slopes, the uphill vehicle has the right of way; but if the downhill vehicle has already reached the midpoint while the uphill vehicle has not started ascending, the downhill vehicle has the right of way. Prohibited U-turn situations: motor vehicles are not allowed to make U-turns at locations with no U-turn or no left-turn signs or markings, as well as at railway crossings, pedestrian crossings, bridges, sharp curves, steep slopes, tunnels, or other hazardous sections. Motor vehicles may make U-turns at locations without no U-turn or no left-turn signs or markings, but must not obstruct the normal passage of other vehicles and pedestrians. When reversing, motor vehicles should check the rear situation and confirm safety before reversing. Reversing is prohibited at railway crossings, intersections, one-way roads, bridges, sharp curves, steep slopes, or tunnels.

What are the differences between drum brakes and disc brakes?

The differences between drum brakes and disc brakes lie in braking force, heat dissipation performance, drainage function, structure, and cooling effect. Braking refers to stopping a moving vehicle, and the brake is a component in the braking system that generates resistance to the vehicle's movement. Currently, friction brakes are commonly used in vehicles, which utilize the friction between fixed and rotating components to produce braking torque. These brakes are further divided into disc brakes and drum brakes. The specific differences are as follows: Different braking force: In terms of braking force, drum brakes provide significantly stronger braking force than disc brakes. This is not because drum brake technology is more advanced but due to their inherent structural characteristics. In a drum brake system, there is a drum-shaped metal component, which is the core part of the drum brake, hence the name. Different heat dissipation performance: Drum brakes operate in a confined space, resulting in poor heat dissipation. During braking, a large amount of heat accumulates, causing the brake shoes and drum to deform under high temperatures, leading to brake fade and vibration, which reduces braking efficiency. Different drainage function: Drainage is another advantage of disc brakes over drum brakes. When water enters the braking system, its impact on braking performance is evident. If the water cannot be drained promptly, braking performance will significantly decline. The enclosed design of drum brakes is clearly less effective for drainage compared to disc brakes. Different structure: Disc brakes have a compact and simple structure, while drum brakes are relatively more complex. However, drum brakes achieve the same braking force with a much smaller diameter than disc brakes. Different cooling effect: Disc brakes have exposed brake shoes, resulting in better heat dissipation and more stable braking performance. In contrast, drum brakes have brake shoes enclosed within the drum, making heat dissipation difficult. Prolonged braking causes the braking force to diminish as heat increases. Principle of drum brakes: Inside the brake drum, hydraulic pressure acts on the pistons of the brake wheel cylinder, pushing the curved brake shoes outward. Alternatively, friction material attached to the brake shoes presses against the inner surface of the drum, slowing the rotation of the drum and axle to achieve braking. Working principle of disc brakes: Hydraulic oil pushes the brake pads against the brake disc through cylinders, generating friction to brake. Disc brakes installed on high-speed shafts come in two torque specifications: 10,000 N·m and 12,500 N·m. The brake disc diameter is 800 mm. Each brake set has four cylinders controlled by a hydraulic system. The features include high braking torque, excellent heat dissipation, adjustable oil pressure, and stepless variation of braking torque during operation.

What does cancel mean on a car?

Cancel on a car means to deactivate the cruise control, set is to set the current speed as the cruising speed, and resume is to return to the original cruising speed. The cruise control system is also known as the cruise control device, speed control system, or autonomous driving system. The function of the cruise control system is to automatically maintain the vehicle speed as required by the driver after turning on the switch, without the need to press the accelerator pedal, allowing the vehicle to travel at a fixed speed. With this device, the driver no longer needs to control the accelerator pedal during long-distance driving on highways, reducing fatigue and unnecessary speed changes, which can save fuel.

What is the working principle of air brakes?

The working principle of air brakes is that when the brake pedal is pressed, compressed air enters the front brake cylinder and rear brake spring cylinder through a one-way valve, pushing the brake arm and causing the brake cam to rotate. This action expands the brake shoes, pressing them tightly against the brake drum to achieve braking. Below are specific details about air brakes: Components: The air brake system consists of a brake control mechanism, dual-circuit brake mechanism, central disc brake mechanism, brake assembly, air compressor, etc. Air brake technique: Vehicles with air brakes require at least 3 bars of pressure to move, ensuring effective braking performance.
