Valid real-time information via vehicle sensors
1. Recognition of dangerous traffic incidents
Based on their ABS and ESP sensors our connected Mercedes‑Benz vehicles detect a wide variety of hazardous situations. These include slippery roads via tire sensors, broken-down vehicles on the emergency lane or accidents that have just happened. These and other events are transmitted to the Mercedes‑Benz data backend and made available to our customers in anonymized form.
2. Transmission of the most local weather conditions
Classic weather service data does not capture local road sections, the sensor technology of the Mercedes‑Benz vehicle fleet helps out here. If the vehicle sensors identify heavy rainfall, fog or dangerous crosswinds, we are happy to make this data available to increase safety on the roads.
3. Anonymized data for road safety
The data is always anonymized and only transmitted from Mercedes‑Benz vehicles for which the vehicle owners have given their consent.
