Autonomous 2018 Mercedes S-Class Factory Assembly Plant – Video

Self-driving technology is only just starting to really blossom, though not one vehicle can truly claim to be fully autonomous just yet.

 

However, Mercedes-Benz believes the recent production start of the 2018 S-Class is a moment for the history books. Why? Because the updated luxury sedan is able to drive itself off the production line.

 

Without anyone behind the wheel, the 2018 S-Class fires up and sets off to a predetermined loading area within the assembly plant, located in Sindelfingen, Germany. In total, the S-Class travels 1.5 kilometers (nearly one mile) on its own accord before parking and awaiting shipment.
