Mercedes-Benz teases self-driving concept for CES reveal - IAB Report

Will be revealed at CES on January 5th 2015.

Mercedes-Benz has teased an interesting self-driving concept that will be revealed at the 2015 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.

Judging by the teaser above, it will have an aerodynamic body with a low roofline and short overhangs. The concept also features a slight projection on top to house the sensors and cameras required for the car to drive itself.

The cabin of the autonomous concept will be influenced by a design the brand previewed in November, with flexible seating that allows the front passengers to turn their seats backwards, hence facing the rear passengers. Being a concept, expect Merc to trim the cabin with premium materials, upholstered in the finest leather, feature wooden flooring, and equipped with a futuristic dashboard sporting a full length infotainment system.
