Mercedes-Benz launched the unmanned concept car F 015 Luxury in Motion at CES in January, and the prototype was based on what it envisioned as a "future city after 2030 years".

Look at its design: its variable seating system at any time can turn the car into a "sitting room on the wheel," in the car integrated 6 display screen, as well as gesture recognition, eye control, Extended sense can monitor the body around 360 degrees of traffic, full power to reach 1100 kilometers. But a car that envisions a 2030-year drive has recently appeared in San Francisco.

Wired's explanation for this is that the F 015 was taken by Mercedes to make a promo, and it should not be a real test because local law forbids vehicles that do not have a rearview mirror installed on the road. And from the outside also see whether someone, onlookers passers-by in the window of the call also always no one responded, estimated this car is a film props.

This f 015 on the one hand, it is important to convey the Mercedes-Benz for the unmanned will revolutionize the design of the car thinking: If the computer is really better than we are good at driving, then why do we have to design the chair into the front, but also with the rearview mirror and brake? By throwing away the shackles of these designs, the car makers have a lot of room to play, a revolutionary change.

Then look at the design of F 015, may be able to experience a trace of human warmth. The 2+2 seat layout of the F 015 Luxury in motion vehicle is a subversive traditional cockpit design, with the core concept of variable seating systems. The front two seats can be rotated 180 degrees backward in unmanned mode, so that the front and rear passengers can be comfortably face-to-face with the 0 obstacles to communicate, at any time the car into a "sitting room on the wheel." When the door is open, the intelligent electric seat will automatically rotate outward 30 degrees, so that the passengers move more conveniently up and down.

Passengers can interact visually with networked cars by means of gestures, eye-tracking, or touch-screen, simply by waving or rotating their eyes to control the car's movements. 6 display screens are integrated into the dashboard, rear and door side panels to facilitate passengers ' understanding of vehicle information and interaction with the vehicle.

The F 015 optimizes the LED technology so that its function is not limited to the conventional lighting function, but also can communicate and interact with the surroundings. The color of the front and rear led light source is displayed in the unmanned state blue, in the manual driving mode is white, reminding the car outside pedestrians and other vehicles pay attention to the car's current driving mode. The rear led matrix display communicates the message clearly to the rear vehicle, such as "Stop" or "slow" (deceleration). If pedestrians suddenly appear in front, it will stop in time and project a temporary crosswalk to guide passers-by safely forward.

With Daimler boss Dieter Zetsche
At CES, "the car will no longer be just a vehicle, it will eventually become a mobile lifestyle." ”

Mercedes hopes to launch a self-driving car in 2020, but it should be impossible to expect the window to be a touch screen. In addition, Mercedes-Benz this month will also launch in the Bay Area F 015 "in action" activities, then we will have follow-up reports.
