September 2, Mercedes-Benz released a whole new generation S-Class. Early consumers can not understand the concept of the new S-Class, after seeing more details of the new features, more voices began to issue identity. With the traditional image of luxury flagship sedan different, the new S-Class used “emotional amp; middot; pure” design concept, to overturn the dignified atmosphere of traditional design, luxury is not the only demands, but also through smart technology and software levels combine to bring more intelligent car experience.
Appearance style conversion, elegant and leading edge and into a
[ 123] in design, the new S-class will focus on cutting-edge style and elegant atmosphere and into one, while bringing style aesthetic, but also with more modern design means, the product also force overall. For example, the new S-Class uses a more streamlined design elements, in the case of body size compared with the previous model to enhance, but also reduce the drag coefficient to 0.22, reached in the car also rare ultra-low aerodynamic performance.
The new S-class for the first time with a new intelligent digital headlights, each group contains a lamp lighting module , the module comprising three LED light sources, light rays can be refracted and directed through the microscope 1,300,000, to achieve a resolution of 2.6 million pixels illuminated. That is, this intelligent digital headlamps have a projector may be implemented similar to the fine-like illumination of the road in front of the light projection arbitrary shape, in addition to the basic function to close the front of the vehicle / pedestrian illuminate area located outside, can also put in motion pictures to communicate with the driver.
as a luxury flagship sedan, the new S-Class is also focus on improving the sensory experience. Presented by surface modeling car with a sculptural light effect transfer, also uses a larger chrome grille, dual-stage extensible horizontal taillights, it brings more modern fine texture. Automatically extended when a new car is equipped with door handles concealed close to the vehicle or can touch the outer surface of the driver, the full sense of ritual.
combined with interior design software, focusing on the scene interactive features
The new S-Class’s interior is at the most controversial of , the new car had to give up before the critically acclaimed double-screen design, the central control panel with a full LCD instrument separated, instead canted large touch screen. This change stems from the actual new S-Class in conjunction with more software-level design, the second generation of intelligent interactive system MBUX new car for the first time became the focus of the design. Therefore, only to give up no longer able to support the new operating system is a complex of double-screen display is more informative, support fingerprint recognition, facial recognition, gesture control, voice control vertical set big screen, is the most appropriate choice.
Notably, the new S-level meter and control the whole liquid crystal panel is an OLED screens are used, compared to a conventional LCD screen, having a screen OLED high contrast, high saturation, the advantages of self-luminous display better resolution in complex automotive lighting environment more conducive recognition. Meanwhile, characteristics of the OLED screen no backlight, so that the black portion may also be completely extinguished, the frame may be fused together via the UI design, better visual effect.
Further, the whole of the liquid crystal instrument panel also supports an OLED screen naked eye 3D display. “Smart sensors Assistant” visual recognition system, can be analyzed by the camera and the position viewed from the eyes of the driver instrument, tuned to a particular screen configuration and screen pixel matrix, to achieve a combination of different pixels at different positions. In other words, the naked eye 3D structure of the whole LCD instrument can take the position real-time adjustment, the 3D image to any positive perspective, to help the driver to quickly identify and focus.
The new S-Class in the design process, but also pay attention to the mix of interactivity to more application scenarios them, “intelligent sensors assistant” can be built-in camera and machine through the screen learning algorithm, according to the driver’s intention identifying body movements, such as the upper end of the rear window is automatically opened visual shade, reach out to find something in the front passenger seat can automatically turn the interior lights, mirrors, exterior adjusted using eyes; gesture control a wider range, in addition to the car system, but also throughThrough gestures open skylights.
“smart sensor assistant” can also be combined with the upgraded version of the active blind spot assist system, once the driver or the copilot reach the door, and both sides of the car and when approaching other road users, get off warning function warns the corresponding side of the atmosphere light turns red. Further, active supports interactive ambience illumination lamp MBUX intelligent interactive system, and “refreshing Chang Heart” feature atmosphere lamp comprising an LED light source 263, an illumination effect over the past 10 times brighter.
further equipped with a new S-Class AR- AR HUD head-up display system, which consists of 1.3 million micro-lenses and a matrix of high-resolution imaging efficiency light source, a display area corresponding to a display 77 inches. While driving, AR-HUD can be dynamic navigation icon in the form of virtual projection of the actual environment windshield 10 meters before the driver and analyzed through the screen inside and outside of the camera, so that navigation icon showing dynamic position in real-time to follow the exterior scenes constantly moving adjustment, it continued to hover over the road coming into the needs of.
S also has more than a dozen new connected entertainment system, the vehicle occupant can arbitrarily navigation, video, audio Taking sharing. Car account associated function is also provided, the rear sides of the screen may be different login accounts, respectively, in order to quickly corresponding user preference information. Tablet on the rear center armrest with the same content a multimedia system, can be removed anywhere.
technology configuration plus body, driving experience and then upgrade
aspects of driving, Mercedes-Benz is currently only exposed part functional intelligent system. For example, new cars equipped with intelligent magic body control system, and can be analyzed with the case of scanning at a rate of 1000 times / sec, and further according to the needs of the advance of the vehicle body roll, pitch and height, as well as individual adjustment of each wheel damping and spring efforts made to react in advance to the road ahead, leading to a smooth and comfortableDriving experience. Active car with rear-wheel steering system at high speeds, the rear wheels can be rotated with the front wheel, the driver is more stable; at low speeds, the rear wheels and the front wheel can be rotated in reverse to achieve a compact car like turning diameter of 11 meters.
In the active safety, the new S-Class preventive safety system equipped with a side impact protection, when the vehicle identification serious imminent side impact, by magic body intelligent control system will raise the body within 0.1 seconds to a maximum of 80 mm, the load-bearing position by the resilience of the door becomes stronger chassis frame. At the same time, the new car is also preparing for the rear passengers a forward airbag, the airbag innovative type tubular frame structure, gently unfold quickly in the event of severe frontal collision, a significant reduction in head and neck rear passengers suffered shock load .
Under certain running scene, S-Class can also be implemented L3 level autopilot. At the appropriate highway and high traffic density places, with laser radar sensors, cameras, high-definition maps, high-precision positioning systems, intelligent leader can take over the function of driving privileges, and automatic control vehicle traveling distance of 60 km / h speed, You may also identify unexpected traffic conditions, and automatically avoid or braked.
Conclusion
as a luxury flagship sedan, the new S-Class can bring such a change can be described as very bold, a combination of software, technology configuration can certainly bring intelligent use car experience, but the resulting changes in style, the same is also a test acceptance of potential users. But it is expected that the new S-Class has opened a new era of luxury flagship sedan, not just to see, touch points conform to traditional standards, intelligence can also be the primary element of luxury.
