S-Class (W223) [Official] Mercedes-Benz S-Class (W223)

^ That Mojave silver, what you call beige @hannaz ?, suits the car very well.

 

[Tuffode]

Such a good looking car.

 

[Merc1]

Yes it is. I want a S580 now.

[Mr. Mercedes]

Yes it is. I want a S580 now.

I love it. There's nothing about the W222 I miss, unless your heart is sold on the more classic interior. MBUX with the high end HUD is a joy to use, its a new type of digital luxury, and it delivers on every aspect of ride and refinement.

Yes it is. I want a S580 now.

It´s your decision: 2 vs 580 + Taycan

 

[MichiB]

The decision is so clear and unambiguous...

 

[Merc1]

It´s your decision: 2 vs 580 + Taycan

S580 please.

DRIVE PILOT: the world’s first internationally certified Level3 system

When it comes to conditionally automated driving (SAE Level 3), safety and reliability are the top priorities for Mercedes-Benz. DRIVE PILOT is therefore based on a system architecture that enables safe control of all situations that could potentially arise. To this end, braking, steering, power supply and some parts of the sensor system are designed with physical and functional redundancy. By adopting this safety‑focused approach to system design, Mercedes-Benz is setting completely new benchmarks in automated driving. DRIVE PILOT, the world’s first internationally certified system, has been available as an option for the S-Class and EQS in Germany since 17 May 2022.

The four core elements of the redundant architecture encompass the braking system, steering, power supply and some of the sensors. This includes environment recognition and handling. The battery, steering motor, wheel speed sensors and algorithms used by the system for data calculation are likewise duplicated. Some aspects of the sensor system are also functionally redundant because their different physical concepts (incl. optical; ultrasound; radio waves) are mutually corroborative, thus ensuring safe operation at all times. This mainly encompasses radar, cameras and a LiDAR. However, ultrasound and moisture sensors as well as microphones also deliver valuable data. Overall, more than 30 sensors ensure that DRIVE PILOT is reliably able to master the task of driving.

“The name Mercedes-Benz has always stood for safety. And we are already setting standards in the development and implementation of automated driving systems like DRIVE PILOT. We are convinced that redundancy is the right approach for Level 3 automated driving and beyond. When it comes to sensors, we also see the use of LiDAR alongside radar and cameras as particularly indispensable. We can compensate for the situation-dependent deficits of one sensor with the characteristics of another. Relying on just one type of sensor would not meet Mercedes-Benz’s high safety standards,” says Markus Schäfer, Member of the Board of Management of Mercedes-Benz Group AG, Chief Technology Officer, responsible for Development and Procurement.

S580 for me please, you can place the EQS over the Taycan inside the crusher and hit the extra squeeze button to make an electric sandwich.

 

[Merc1]

S63 please. It’s time.

[RobbinYoHoodv2]

drive pilot level 3 available in Germany since May - "internationally approved" so when will it be available in other countries?

 

[leylandi]

USA by the end of the year

 

[sam9187]

S63 please. It’s time.

M

Have been impatiently waiting for years now. It is absolutely crazy.

 

[Evgeny]

 

[leylandi]

Why is this car so late? Why is the same system in the GT 4 door being tested so much? Could there be balance problems?

 

[Centurion]

Will the S63 be be a plug-in hybrid?

 

[leylandi]

Will the S63 be be a plug-in hybrid?

Yeah. It will be the same setup as the GT63 e performance.

 

[kiki voinea]

If the 63 will go out next year , what's the point in buying it , if facelift will probably go out for sale a year later ?
