DHAKA:
Dieter Zetsche, the head of Mercedes-Benz Cars, at the beginning of CES, one of the largest tech gathering which is being hosted in Las Vegas of USA, dazzled a crowd packed into the Cosmopolitan’s Chelsea Theater by rolling out the company’s self-driving F 015 Luxury in Motion concept car.

He said there that the driverless car have arrived. “Let the tech-fest begin.”

However, the futuristic sedan delivered Consumer Electronics Association President and CEO Gary Shapiro to the stage as Zetsche explained how the autonomous vehicle monitors road conditions, traffic and obstacles with a series of sensors that feed information to an onboard computer, reports reviewjournal.com.

According to the report, Zetsche said passengers in the company’s “cocoon on wheels” can interact intuitively with the connected vehicle through gestures, eye-tracking or by touching high-resolution screens in the vehicle.

The seating configuration is a throw-back to the days of horse-drawn carriages, with four rotating lounge chairs that allow a face-to-face seat configuration.

All four passengers can use their time aboard to work, to relax or to communicate., which Zetsche said “will turn drivers into guests, travelers and passengers.” To make getting in and out of the car easier, the electrically powered seats also swing out by 30 degrees as soon as the doors are opened.
