i've got an s-class. and i got into an accident with it. i was waiting at a set of lights and an cubevan came on the wrong side of the road and smashed head-on to my benz. and what happens is, the engine automatically gets forced to the right of the car, the right wheel is made in a way that it seperates to allow the engine to move to the right and that saved my life. any other car, the engine would've ended up on my lap. killin me instantly. owe my life to mercedes. astonishing cars. peace.

@Aragon159 I wonder if that's what someone who crashed this car would really see for a split second... do you think that's the car's actual airbag or do you think it's computer animated?

@Ndranghetaboy It's the door lock and we see it going down while it's really going up (because the video is reversed). It does this to allow the passengers to more easily leave the vehicle.
