Mercedes-Benz safety assistance systems: Every accident is one too many
- Mercedes-Benz as a long-time leader in the field of #safety assistance systems
- Policy objective: to halve the number of fatal road accidents
- Significantly fewer accidents with automated emergency braking systems
Stuttgart. #truck #safety is currently the subject of heated political debate. While some call for stricter laws, others demand a ban on the deactivation of assistance systems. In recent months, the media has also increasingly drawn attention to severe accidents at the tail end of traffic jams and between trucks and cyclists or pedestrians.
As a year-on-year figure, the actual number of accidents in Germany has remained more or less constant in inner city areas and has even fallen on motorways. Nonetheless, for #mercedesbenztrucks every one of these accidents is one too many. This is why Accident Research and Development are constantly working on systems to prevent accidents and on their systematic development. Mercedes-Benz is a long-time leader in this area. For example with automated emergency braking systems or with Sideguard Assist, which Mercedes-Benz is currently the only manufacturer worldwide to offer as a fully integrated system.
