Mercedes-Benz gesture control concept is DICEy

On January 15, 2012, In Gadgets, by DPrulhiere

Ze Germans seem to be obsessed with Minority Report-style interior controls, and Mercedes-Benz has taken it to the next level with a full-scale interior with nary a button or switch to be found. Mercedes’ Dynamic & Intuitive Control Experience (DICE) utilizes a series of proximity sensors to detect arm and hand movements, which control everything from music, navigation and social functionality to a heads-up display that comprises the entire windshield

Mercedes-Benz F 125! looks like the future, runs on hydrogen

On September 16, 2011, In Gadgets, by bambalunga303

As expected , the feature concept car being shown by Mercedes-Benz at Frankfurt this year was the F 125! But Merc isn’t actually calling it a concept, rather a “research vehicle” that will help the company work toward a gasoline-free future. In this case it’s a hydrogen-filled future, with this car running on compressed gas and so giving off only water vapor and oxygen as emissions.

On September 12, 2011, In Gadgets, by helobka23

Mercedes-Benz is certainly no stranger to hydrogen-powered fuel cell vehicles, and it looks like the automaker is now about to show off its latest concept at the Frankfurt Motor Show. That’s dubbed the F125! (apparently pronounced F one twenty FIVE ), and it promises a top speed of 137 miles per hour, 0 to 62 in 4.9 seconds, and 100 kilometers on 0.79 kilograms of hydrogen (or 621 miles on a full tank)

Mercedes-Benz debuts tablet-packing A-Class concept

On April 10, 2011, In Gadgets, videos, by wordek13

As fond as we are of the A-Class , it’s never been the best looking Benz in the bunch, but with the introduction of the new A-Class concept, it looks like that could soon change. One of the car’s designers describes it variously as sexy, expressive, and beautifully formed, and while we wouldn’t go quite that far, we have to say it’s not too shabby

Harman-Mercedes Map Pilot modular built-in nav system becomes reality

On March 4, 2011, In Gadgets, News, by Lobo

A little over two years ago, we opined on the lack of decent built-in nav systems, hopelessly waiting for Harman and Mercedes to make good on their promise of an easily upgradable in-dash setup . Well, the day has finally come, and the partners in automotive innovation are gearing up to introduce the Becker Map Pilot to the world at the Geneva Motor Show . As promised, the system combines the flexibility and features of a PND with the integration and good looks of a built-in setup — although the interface shows up on the auto’s central display panel and relays voice instructions over the car’s speakers, the main unit is stored in the glove compartment, where it’s easily removed and upgraded via the internet

Daimler says fuel cell vehicles will cost the same as diesel hybrids by 2015

On February 2, 2011, In Gadgets, News, by brumek13

It may currently you cost you $849 a month to lease a Mercedes-Benz B-Class F-Cell (one of the few hyrodgen -fueled vehicles currently available to consumers), but Daimler says that cost will come down considerably in the next few years. Speaking with Automotive News , Daimler’s Herbert Kohler said that by 2015 he expects a “fuel cell car will not cost more than a four-cylinder diesel hybrid that meets the Euro 6 emissions standard,” which would seemingly place it in a race with Toyota and its promise of a $50,000 hydrogen-powered sedan .
