February 2006, that's when it arrives - the "ultimate geek car". The Name - "S Class", Mercedes Benz S-Class. And it can't get cooler and geekier than this.
Let's start with the driving aspect. For starters, the new S-class has a Distronic radar speed system that will automatically increase or decrease the car speed based on the traffic in front. So, you don't really need to apply brakes or push the accelerator pedal - that's done automatically. Just point the steering wheel to where you want to go to.
If you are driving in the night, the infrared camera's will pick up everything in front of your car and ahead on the road, which are not illuminated by the headlights and project it onto a display that's embedded on your dashboard. In fact, you can drive without headlights in pitch dark if you use this system. If you decide to park, seven radar sensors working with "Parktronic" system, will guide you into the tightest of parking spots. Makes us wonder, what are we for?
And while you are being driven or driving (whatever little of it you will be doing if you want to call it that), you also get to select from a range of exotic massages (minus the women), which are done by inflating and deflating seven air chambers in each seat, with settings from light to hard.
And if you are going to have accident, then this is the safest car in the world to have it in. As soon an accident is detected, the S-class computers will automatically deploy air bags in acceleration, close windows and sunroofs, and tighten the seat belts, and fire missiles to clear the road (okay, this one we are kidding!).
But, seriously the Mercedes Benz S-Class 2007 is the geekiest of all cars out there. So what if you have to sell your kids to buy one.
