Mercedes ESF 2009 Experimental Safety Vehicle, Braking Bag

what if there is a big pothole...

[soberek]

Yeah, sure. And take away everything the engineers worked so hard for in the last two or three decades - providing CONTROL during braking - which is all about ABS and ESP. Maybe it work with something like a train, but that is just a pile of shit technology when it comes to cars.

Love the Left-Ear-german and Right-Ear-English :D more videos should use this :)

[loganfox14]

they are the safest cars

[Bmants]

troutsaver: your logic is alien to me, but whatever.

[ATGT5]

very great job from MB but some stupid fag peaple well never understand ....!

[epivitoras89]

good job,keep going

[marcolino54321]

Really innovative psss...i was thinking about another pair of wheel that can do same work but when i was 10 years old. Where that shit is innovative? We can have safe cars today but they simply want give em to us to make something "NEW" every year.

[cristianstefan]

Bad if we try to protect drivers, bad if we not........

Maybe if you smash your head in car crash, it will be more safe.....

[fackyoudude]

wow, if I am conceptually right, then 2g's in 0.8sec before impact is like almost 20mph slower in like, 0.8sec!

If I am rich n can afford it, I would so buy it! I mean 0.8 before impact means crashing almost for sure man, so I am willing to even total the car in order to save everyone involves.

[d1oftwins]

80ms aren't 0.8secs. 80ms are 0.08secs.

Why couldnt there be like a emergency brake? By a push of a button there will be shot out someting underneath the car, that goes down in the road (i dont know if gas can do that :S ?) and it would stop the car immedietly.

[nathancser]

I wouldn't want my kid pressing that button :)

All this cool stuff sounds like more things that can break...

[mohammadVTC]

and the G forces would kill you and if u dont die from it i think city people woulb make u pay for fixing the road

[Bmants]

Why not remove the human factor, that is the major cause of accidents.

[Metalgear55]

because we dont want to live in a robics sociaty!

[troutsaver]

@Bmants

yes, cars should not transport people so no one get injured.. then cars could crash as much as they want without no one hurt

[steakIT99]

@Bmants We would, if it would be that easy...

[CaNNonBlunT]

whats the point of the breaking bag ?

[loulew]

it raises the front end and provides more braking force. reduces override senarios

[nathancser]

Another source also says that it can come to a complete stop from 74 km/h in 1 second... a bit fast for the human body to physically sit through isn't it?

[loulew]

i would doubt that it's true.

[tiagom135]

preciuse!!!

[arivera3426]

the S-class gets a chubby!!

[NoxNoctisUmbra]

Very safe indeed.
