With new and considerably extended driving assistance functions, the new S‑Class will this autumn be taking a further, major step towards autonomous driving. Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC and Active Steering Assist now support the driver even more conveniently in keeping a safe distance and steering, and the vehicle speed is now also automatically adjusted in bends and at road junctions. Also on board are Active Emergency Stop Assist and a considerably improved Active Lane Change Assist.

Thanks to enhanced camera and radar systems, the new S‑Class has an even better view of the traffic situation. It also makes use of map and navigation data to calculate driving behaviour for the first time. The driver is able to see at a glance which assistance functions have been selected, and to which situations the systems are reacting at present. Easily understandable icons – e.g. a steering wheel with hands on both sides – give information both on the screen and in the head-up display

Evasive Steering Assist can support the driver in taking evasive action when pedestrians are detected in the danger zone in front of the vehicle and the driver initiates such action. The system then applies additional steering torque in the direction in which the driver is performing an evasive manoeuvre. This helps the driver to evade the pedestrian in a controlled manner and to stabilise the vehicle on its evasive course.
