Daimler, under the auspices of which is also the well-known Mercedes-Benz brand, has developed the Mercedes-Benz future truck 2025, which could drive completely by itself in the coming decade, when it is planned to officially hit the roads. Together with numerous assistance systems, it could save thousands of human lives annually.
Mercedes-Benz future truck 2025 is a commercial vehicle packed with excesses, the exterior image of the cabin itself is characterized by modern lines and during the day, imperceptible luminaries are assembled practical the entire mask of the vehicle, which with the help of the sea The LED lights up at startup in full glory, almost like a Christmas tree. Also the bodywork is special, as it is made of particularly light materials composite materials, which is also known for the contours, which are unexpectedly soft and aerodynamic for this angular segment.
The main innovation that future truck 2025 brings is technology capable of fully autonomous driving, where the driver is still in the center of attention, except that he assistance systems can for a short time completely relieve, for example, for the driver to read electronic messages written on a special portable central screen, which is essentially a Samsung tablet, or to stretch his legs in the extremely spacious and refined passenger cabin.
The Germans already are made a prototype model, which was also tested in everyday traffic (albeit in a controlled environment) namely at speeds up to 80 km/h, on the highway in the vicinity of the German city of Magdeburg.
It scans the road ahead with the help of radars
A super truck can independently maintains the speed of the vehicle of the driver in front of him and keep an appropriate safety distance. This is possible by using several radar sensors, which they scan the road in front of and around the vehicle, which are then forwarded to assistance systems in real time.
In addition, it has a system that detects vehicles in the blind spot and warns the driver of this, and if there is a possibility of an accident, the truck also brakes automatically and can also come to a complete stop.
When the Future Truck 2025 hits the roads, it will be able to communicated with other vehicles in traffic, to the driver suggested a more suitable alternative route, which will save him time, money and, last but not least, nerves. At Mercedes, they say that with the help of such trucks, they could annually saved thousands human lives, which represent the toll of several million traffic accidents on the roads of the old continent.
Communication between the vehicles would take place over a network similar to that over which mobile phone signals travel, initially working 500 meters in diameter. The goal is to achieve that the vehicles would communicate in such a way that, through optimization, they would include vehicles on the AC and by maintaining a minimum safety distance, significantly reduce traffic jams or eliminate them altogether.
As for comfort for the driver and other passengers, the future truck offers the highest level of driving comfort, led by "pilot" driver's seat, a digital display and gauges, and a Samsung tablet that takes center stage on the center console, which can serve as a driving assistant or as infotainment console. The refinement of the passenger compartment, the rounded lines, the materials used, etc. are also surprising ambient lighting throughout the cabin.
