The basic functions of the systems in the Driving Assistance package for the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class.
As standard, the S-Class is equipped with Active Parking Assist with a reversing camera, and on request this can be combined with a 360° camera. In the S-Class, all the information from all sensors and cameras is fusioned. This enables more parking spaces to be recognised and offered. Parking spaces defined by lines (not by vehicles) can also be used for automated parking for the first time.
Parking package with remote parking functions: use a smartphone to park and unpark conveniently
Remote Parking Assist allows the driver to control a parking procedure by smartphone and the Remote Parking app in Mercedes me connect, while remaining outside but in close proximity to the vehicle. This is more comfortable when entering and exiting the vehicle in tight parking spaces, and avoids damage when opening the doors. To use the system, the S-Class must feature "Preinstallation for Remote Parking Assist" and the service must be activated in Mercedes me.
Remote Parking Assist parks the vehicle on request if the driver has selected a corresponding parking scenario via the central display in the S-Class or using the app on the smartphone. The S-Class is also able to park and unpark itself in a straight line for the last few metres, e.g. in garage entrances or end-on spaces. The driver-monitored parking procedure continues automated as long as the driver presses the touch surface on the smartphone while tilting it by 90°. If the control surface is no longer pressed or the smartphone is no longer tilted, the vehicle is automatically braked to a stop.
It is not only this which has considerably simplified operation compared to the previous Remote Parking generation. Compatibility with different phones has also been increased. While the vehicle and smartphone previously communicated via Bluetooth, a WiFi connection in the 2.4 GHz band is now also available. Initially linking the vehicle and smartphone has also been improved. A QR code can now be used for faster, more convenient authorisation.
When remote parking, the driver continues to have full responsibility for the vehicle and its control during the entire parking procedure. He/she can interrupt or cancel the parking procedure with the smartphone or the vehicle key at any time, and take back control.
INTELLIGENT PARKING PILOT: highly automated driverless parking in suitable multi-storey car parks
Mercedes-Benz goes another step further when it comes to parking: If specified with preinstallation for the INTELLIGENT PARKING PILOT, the S-Class is prepared for highly automated driverless parking (Automated Valet Parking, AVP, SAE Level 4). In conjunction with the necessary optional equipment and the corresponding Connect service (depending on country), the new S-Class has the onboard technology to enter and leave multi-storey car parks equipped with an AVP infrastructure in highly automated mode and without a driver, provided that national legislation permits such operation.
The vision: The driver securely parks the vehicle in a designated drop-off area of the multi-storey car park, and after all passengers have left he starts the parking procedure using the smartphone app. The sensor system in the car park checks whether a suitable space is available. If so, the AVP infrastructure confirms the handover of the vehicle for the driver in the app, and he/she can leave the S-Class and depart. The vehicle is then started automatically, and automatically drives to its parking space with the help of the infrastructure installed in the car park. On returning, the driver can let the S-Class drive to a designated pick-up area by smartphone command.
