Mercedes-Benz is a leader in airbag technology having over forty years of experience in the field, making them experts at producing a superior airbag. And, while the quality and sophisticated level of protection Mercedes-Benz airbags offer only continues to improve, times change. What was once a novelty becomes expected. It moves into more of a supporting role.

In a recent ad campaign, Mercedes-Benz portrays this evolution beautifully. In what is essentially a verbal, thank-you letter, the German automaker demonstrates gratitude for life-saving airbag technology via a myriad of Andy-Wachowski-inspired shots. At the same time, it serves to usher in a new era of safety technology from Mercedes-Benz. Technology that has the power to prevent accidents before they happen. "We will need you in the future," says Mercedes-Benz in their ad, "Just not as often."¹

Among the many benefits drivers of new Mercedes-Benz equipped with accident-preventing technology will realize are help staying alert/away at the wheel, better night vision, insight into the all-elusive blind spot, effortless high beams that automatically turn on/off based on conditions and oncoming traffic, help maintaining a safe following distance from the car ahead. And, finally drivers will be less likely to venture out of their land, thanks to a tri-signal Lane-Keeping Alert.

We think Mercedes-Benz has plenty of advance safety features to offer in every model, and invite Lancaster customers to experience the sophisticated safety features such as Adaptive High-Beam Assist and Lane Keep Assist firsthand. While the aforementioned ad featured the B-Class (not for sale in the U.S.), the complete suite of Mercedes-Benz Accident-Preventing technology is currently available in E-Class and S-Class vehicles. Simply swing by 1550 Commerce Drive in Lancaster and take a test drive either a Mercedes-Benz E-Class or Mercedes-Benz S-Class today.
