Ne chAt that point, the PRE-SAFE system prepares the vehicle The system is based on the concept that a panic stop, skid or rapid evasive maneuver signals an impending collision. The simplest example is tightening the seat belts for extra protection, but that's only one step the system takes. When it does, the system swings into action to protect the driver and passengers. The system is designed to sense that an accident is imminent.
In 2003, Mercedes introduced the PRE-SAFE system in some of its cars, which took Mercedes safety to another level. They pioneered over 2,500 car safety inventions. Here's just a short list of Mercedes-Benz safety innovations that we all pretty much take for granted in modern cars: * A safety steering column to protect the driver * Crumple zones in various areas of the vehicle (which was in production by 1953) * Side impact protection
Airbags Anti-lock brakes Seat belt tensioners Those features demonstrate that Mercedes-Benz is really the source of modern automobile safety. That department became a hotbed of innovation for the carmaker.
Mercedes-Benz formed its own department for safety development 65 years ago, headed by Austrian engineer Bela Barenyi. There was even a joke in a Dudley Moore movie that a Volvo ad should say, "We're boxy, but we're safe." But these days, Mercedes-Benz safety is up there with the best...and it has really always been that way. Nobody else had the reputation for safety they did. Years ago, you really had ooice when it came to a safe cars - Volvo.
