Top Gear tested this a few episodes back and said it was Shat !

On the program think it was Hammond stood away from the car and you could see him with the eye but the night vision couldn’t see him !

Nice idea , needs a little more work ( a bit like their impact avoidance system that again failed when on trial two Mercs slammed into each other )

technology for technology sake


Humm! I missed that Top Gear Lee! The last night one was really funny tohugh… Im sure that Mercedes is only one step away to make it work!

They have the technology but it’s the drivers who need the care!!!

top gear was really funny this week… i actually did laugh out loud a few times…

They flying Mini was just Genius !

I loved that! I was just wondering on the badjet for that program… lol

Nice idea, but who’s going to drive a car at 50mph looking at a small screen? It’s not natural. What they need is a proper HUD (heads up display) like on air-craft-fighters, so your natural view is suplimented with this vision.

Need a few decades more before that Jay!

Why? It’s been in planes for decades already.

Hmm… I think that will distract/confuse car drivers rather then help them.

About time night vision visors were invented thou

Can you imagine? That would be awesome…

The quality of the Mercs has been going downhill every yr. I’ve got a ML320…and its a piece of crap. Just little things bust up to annoy you like , headlight bulbs, sensor lights, plastics underneath the body cracking and this thing is supposed to go off-road…heaven forbid that
