EV Channels Review

This video showcases the Mercedes-Benz ESF 2019, a safety concept car based on the GLE-Class plug-in hybrid SUV. The ESF 2019 focuses heavily on advancing safety for autonomous driving, introducing innovations like retractable steering wheels and pedals, and unique airbag designs. A key highlight is its 'cooperative communication' system, utilizing turquoise lights and rear projections to signal autonomous operation and intentions to other road users, enhancing safety in mixed traffic environments. The concept also features advanced child safety seats with integrated cameras and pretensioners, and a novel rear-occupant airbag system likely destined for the next S-Class. Additionally, a small robot deploys from the rear to act as a roadside warning triangle after an incident. While not a production vehicle, the ESF 2019 demonstrates Mercedes-Benz's commitment to future safety technologies, particularly in the realm of autonomous and mixed-traffic scenarios.
