Mercedes – Transparent Walls

Mercedes-Benz have created a digital installation in order to showcase the new “pre-safe” feature. This is an automatic system that detects road danger and, in case it identifies a possible incoming incident, it has the power to control the car and avoid the accident, resulting in emergency stops, for example.

Consequently, an agency in Germany has created for Mercedes Transparent Walls to make the drivers understand the principales of this feature. They placed them in busy suburban streets, presenting how the “pre-safe” system works: live video projection of one side of a wall appears onto the other side of the wall, creating the impression of transparency. By those means, the drivers could see what was coming from behind the wall, giving them the possibility to immediately react to any possible danger.
