For the last decade or so, Mercedes-Benz has been working on automated driving technologies that are beginning to make their way into the mainstream of the auto industry.

As new technologies are invented, cars are becoming more and more efficient. But exactly how efficient are they? The truth is that we lose a lot of the energy that the combustion engine creates to excess heat, idling time, and aerodynamic drag. Many people don’t realize the effect drag has on a vehicle.

In an effort to combat this problem, Mercedes-Benz has unleashed the Intelligent Aerodynamic Automobile, or IAA for short. It is a concept vehicle that was unveiled at the Frankfurt Auto Show in Germany and it is bringing the imaginations of motorists to life.

This has nothing to do with sticks or stones, so don’t worry. We wouldn’t do that. It does have everything to do with the fact that car accidents are unexpectedly loud and can be damaging to our ears. The 2017 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Pre-Safe Sound uses science and a muscle in the ear to protect from permanent damage. It is because of technologies like this that the 2017 E-Class is going to have more differences from the 2016 E-Class than the GLC has from the GLK. Read the rest of this entry
