0:00:00.676,0:00:03.391
(music)

0:00:03.391,0:00:05.617
Wood: I got to ride along in the F 015

0:00:05.617,0:00:07.501
which is Mercedes' concept for

0:00:07.501,0:00:09.292
the autonomous luxury vehicle

0:00:09.292,0:00:10.919
of the future.

0:00:10.919,0:00:13.910
And this vehicle is so autonomous

0:00:13.910,0:00:15.831
that anyone in the car can operate it.

0:00:15.831,0:00:20.809
(music)

0:00:20.809,0:00:22.381
Looking at this car, and waiting[br]to get inside,

0:00:22.381,0:00:24.884
I already have the feeling of being[br]on a movie set.

0:00:24.884,0:00:29.516
It is clearly a concept,[br]and a far out concept at that.

0:00:29.516,0:00:31.272
-We can bring the car through the

0:00:31.272,0:00:33.274
parking precision with P, and also

0:00:33.274,0:00:37.213
you can pick up the car.

0:00:37.213,0:00:38.982
-Here it comes.

0:00:38.982,0:00:40.712
(music)

0:00:40.712,0:00:45.114
Blue lights mean autonomous. White[br]lights mean you're driving yourself.

0:00:45.114,0:00:48.088
I'm sure all the pedestrians will[br]totally figure that out.

0:00:48.090,0:00:51.015
Car: Please go ahead[br]Wood:(laughs)

0:00:51.015,0:00:53.533
Wood: I'm going. It said it was ok.

0:00:53.533,0:01:03.172
(music with tambourine)

0:01:03.172,0:01:06.007
-When I say ok, then you have[br]the conducting rights

0:01:06.007,0:01:10.112
-I have the conducting rights.

0:01:10.112,0:01:13.641
So anyone in the car can potentially[br]conduct as long as they request access

0:01:13.641,0:01:15.598
from the driver, which means any of the

0:01:15.598,0:01:19.315
four of us could be the driver.

0:01:19.315,0:01:22.614
This particular concept vehicle is not[br]currently equipped with all the sensors

0:01:22.614,0:01:24.272
to make it an autonomous car,

0:01:24.272,0:01:26.464
so we're driving a pre-programmed route,

0:01:26.464,0:01:28.752
but the goal is that it the long run,

0:01:28.752,0:01:30.845
this will be a fully autonomous,

0:01:30.845,0:01:34.082
self driving car.

0:01:34.082,0:01:36.489
One of the goals of this car is that you

0:01:36.489,0:01:38.561
can create an interior experience

0:01:38.561,0:01:40.981
that's maybe different from the exterior.

0:01:40.981,0:01:42.251
So you can have nice pictures if[br]you're stuck in traffic

0:01:42.251,0:01:43.081
or you're in an industrial area. [br]But then the

0:01:45.436,0:01:47.436
pictures themselves are all controlled

0:01:47.436,0:01:49.956
by touch screens. This center console

0:01:49.956,0:01:52.749
is part of this shared space idea.

0:01:52.749,0:01:54.277
The idea that you could all be

0:01:54.277,0:01:59.711
riding in the car together,[br]and you could make this table come out.

0:01:59.711,0:02:01.661
It has various proximity capabilities.

0:02:01.661,0:02:03.851
So if your friends are sharing their

0:02:03.851,0:02:06.102
location, you might see a screen that

0:02:06.102,0:02:07.863
pops up that shows their pictures if

0:02:07.863,0:02:09.324
they're close by.

0:02:09.324,0:02:10.532
There are other sort of futuristic[br]technologies built in,

0:02:10.532,0:02:11.760
like this beam cam,

0:02:11.760,0:02:13.521
which actually shows this exterior

0:02:13.521,0:02:15.617
view of the car. But then you could

0:02:15.617,0:02:16.635
share that.

0:02:16.635,0:02:24.821
(music with vocal)

0:02:24.821,0:02:34.977
(techno music)

0:02:34.977,0:02:36.845
It's all very far out sounding,

0:02:36.845,0:02:38.540
but it's all based on

0:02:38.540,0:02:42.225
technology that mostly exists today.

0:02:42.225,0:02:45.386
(futuristic music)
