Driver Assist Systems

Driver assist or intelligent vehicle safety systems are emerging as a crucial technology for improving auto safety and to lower society’s cost of auto accidents.
Driver assist systems or intelligent vehicle safety systems are emerging rapidly due to their potential to lower many of the negative aspects related to transportation—accidents, injuries, deaths and the many elements of economic loss from accidents.

BlueTEC

The newest generation of BlueTEC, now currently in three of the M-B’s newest models (the R-Class, ML, and GL), uses an aluminum 3.2-liter V-6 engine with a variable vein turbocharger, sophisticated common rail injection mapping, and one of the most aggressive after treatment (basically in the exhaust system) strategies anywhere.

Taking Automotive Safety to a New Level

While automotive mobility continues to be on the rise worldwide, thus promoting economic growth and satisfying the growing demand for individual transportation, the cost of some 1.2 million fatalities each year is certainly not acceptable. Traffic crashes can be viewed as one of the world’s largest public health problems and advanced safety technology can help address this problem effectively.

Accordingly, rating and consumer tests on active and passive safety systems have increasingly gained in importance over the last few years. The aim of these is to provide customers with safety assessments of different vehicles of the same class by using a clear evaluation system. Clearly, manufacturers can no longer afford to ignore the attainment of rating stars as a development objective. The development of suitable structural measures, improvements to the restraint system’s equipment and optimisation of their effectiveness have contributed to enhance accident safety across all vehicle classes. Nowadays, even small vehicles can demonstrate this basic level of safety, but we must mention the fact that the results between different vehicle classes can still not be compared.
