2018 Mercedes-Benz S Class with Active Distance Control DISTRONIC and Active Steering Assist

The top-of-the-range model of Mercedes-Benz takes another big step towards autonomous driving and elevates Intelligent Drive to the next level. Active Distance Control DISTRONIC and Active Steering Assist now provide even more comfortable support for the driver to keep a safe distance and steer. The speed is now adjusted automatically ahead of bends, junctions or roundabouts, for example (country-specific variations may occur in terms of the individual functions).

Active Distance Control DISTRONIC and Active Steering Assist now provide even more comfortable support for the driver when keeping a safe distance and steering. The Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC, for example, thus uses substantially more map and navigation data, can support the driver based on the route, and conveniently adjusts the vehicle speed.
