They have a disclaimer on the commercial already.
"MB onboard computer systems, are no substitution for.....blah, blah, lawyer talk".

I'm curious as to how MB knows if you not going to go around something if approaching from a fast speed. They must be monitoring steering angle movement and rate.

Just for sheer entertainment value, I kinda thought the commercial was funny.

Actually they use a new radar style cruise control. I hate those SOB's as it rings my detector. I do some serious brake checks to turn them off. It's almost where I can't use my RD on any highway anymore because the majority of new luxury vehicles are starting to come with it.

I'm sure most of you have seen this video as it has made its way around but this is BY FAR the best "what could happen" public service announcement about texting while driving I have EVER seen. Caution graphic...

That's a sweet country there. They must have lifeflight and paramedics every 5 miles.

I remember this one going around for a while and everyone kept crying about it. I'm fucked up in the head and just laughed during it. Especially where the dude gets nailed by the van trying to send a text and crossing the street. Pussy will get you killed
