Having seemingly run out of space for any more screens for the driver Mercedes now offers the option of an additional one for the front-seat passenger, through which they can stream movies and other content via a separate audio channel or even video call using the car’s onboard camera. If the driver tries to look across at the screen it detects the eye movement and dims it automatically as a safety feature. While all very fancy we’d venture the interior actually looks cleaner with just the usual combination of digital instruments and centre screen, the sharp graphics and smooth menus making the tech environment feel just as premium as the physical one. The fiddly touch-sensitive controls on the steering wheel are less appealing, and maybe we’re old fashioned but we still don’t like voice control even if the more sophisticated ‘Just Talk’ system means you no longer have to start every interaction with “Hey, Mercedes!” when you’re driving on your own.
