1 Answers
On the surface, it appears to be an ordinary emblem, but in reality, a rearview camera is installed behind the emblem. Technically known as a flip emblem rearview. When the car needs to reverse, the driver simply shifts into reverse gear, and the rear emblem automatically rotates and flips up, allowing the rearview camera to clearly capture the image behind the vehicle. Below is some relevant information: 1. Mercedes-Benz: Mercedes-Benz is a world-renowned luxury car brand. In January 1886, Karl Benz invented the world's first three-wheeled automobile and obtained a patent, earning him the title of 'the inventor of the automobile.' At the same time, Gottlieb Daimler, another founder of Mercedes-Benz, invented the world's first four-wheeled automobile. 2. The Meaning of the Emblem: In June 1909, Daimler applied to register the 'three-pointed star' as the emblem for its cars, symbolizing motorization on land, water, and in the air. In 1916, a circle was added around it, with four small stars embedded at the top of the circle and the word 'Mercedes' at the bottom. 'Mercedes' means happiness, signifying that the cars produced by Daimler would bring happiness to their owners.
