Mercedes cars to be personnel assistants in future

Mercedes, a German automobile manufacturer is setting up its goal to build autonomous cars which will act like a smart assistant to the owners.

Mercedes has a future vision of getting more and more innovative technology into its car which will make its cars apart from the other automobile manufacturers. The car manufacturers in the world are in race to gain success in the driverless car technology. Many trials of driverless cars are being done in different world class cities.

According to Autocar UK, Daimler's chairman of the board of directors, Dr Dieter Zetsche, has revealed that Mercedes-Benz wants to create autonomous cars which will act like a personal assistant. Dr. Zetsche told in IFA, Berlin that the company is coming up with new developments which allows the cars to communicate, sense the surroundings and allot a parking space for itself. The feature of connectivity between the cars helps the cars to find new and nearest parking spots. As per Dr.Zetsche, the parking technology is a short term goal and can be achieved soon in the company's cars.

Dr. Zetsche said "We've already begun testing community-based parking in Stuttgart together with our partners at Bosch," and "It works using car sensors that can find empty spaces along a road and then share the information with the Mercedes back-end database. That information is then shared with other Mercedes cars."

The new feature likely to achieve is the personnel assistant job which the car will do to the owner by knowing the navigational destinations, works allotted, setting up meeting calls and reminding about the appointments and much-more.

Dr Zetsche said "Everyone is talking about digitalization and connected cars,"

"But software alone will not be able to take you from A to B. It is the total package that will take you from A to B."

According to The Motor Report, Mercedes Benz vehicles will include health and wellbeing sensors which monitor the passenger's health issues and provide warnings for the health problems and adjust its internal condition based on the passenger's health.

It adjusts its interior temperature, ambient lighting, or seat massage, with a goal of ultimate comfort to the passengers.

"It's our goal that a passenger gets out of a Mercedes in better condition than when they got in," he explained. "The car will use its sensors to monitor the health and wellbeing of passengers, and then adjust settings to improve your situation and blood pressure."

According to Autocar UK, Dr. Zetsche said "We do not know exactly what the car will look like in 10 years from now, but we do know it will be of greater value for all of us," and he added "That's why our cars have begun to become quality time machines, to hand back time to let you do what you want.

"But that time will always include driving a car for pure pleasure. We will certainly never forget that at Mercedes," he concluded.
