I Will Cut The Story Short
Mercedes Benz unveiled the first oval-headlamp E-Class in 1995; it caught the competition off guard, rewrote the book on how a mid-level luxury sedan ought to look, and took the car buying public by storm. But sadly due to poor quality control the car was bombarded by complaints from owner all over the world which also including ME! I will cut the story short, our family took ownership of this ride in 1997 and had been in our stables till now. The car is still in its original Silver color and had no modification to it. Instead this car gave us ton of headaches such as reliabilities and quality issues during its early age. I had always wanted to make this car look good from its original looks when we first bought it but was always busy with my work and other long lists of "work". Hehe. Recently, I suddenly had the mood to have this dream fulfill. The car is now in its 13 years of age. Sourcing parts is now easy as it is widely available Online, cheaply too. I will give out more details as what plan I have for this ride in the next post. Please regularly check the progress of this car as I want to make it one of the most enjoyable project I will ever tackle.
Then on the other side they have hooked up a camera that records the cars surroundings, re-formats it to the correct aspects of the LEDs, which in turn makes you invisible from a distance. However, LEDs and man power were not the only things required, Mercedes also had to install roughly 1,100 lbs of equipment including power sources, computers, and more. With all that extra weight the question is, how fast will it go? Who would benefit from a feature like this? Ok now that we have covered what the feature is and how it works (at least at this stage), the question is who would benefit from having an invisibility cloak feature in the car? As much as you would love the feature on your car, reality is if the feature becomes available it probably will not be publicly available. Can you imagine if the feature was available to the general public?
You would have criminals using it to rob banks and getting away. Police Officers: they could use this feature while sitting on the side of the road to catch speeders, if the whole car was invisible they could use it to sneak up to a robbery, and so on. Detectives: They could use it to stake out suspects without the worry of being seen. With a little tweaking there could be "skins" that come programmed into the feature (kind of like adjusting color on a TV) so they could change the color of their car on the go, making it easier to follow suspects. Private Investigators: Pretty much the same as the detectives, they could use it to stake out suspects or follow them given the feature is tweaked to be able to change colors as well. 1. What are your thoughts, should invisibility be a feature available to the general public? 2. If it became available, how much would you pay for the added feature?
Applying the 鈥淪ensual Purity鈥?design language introduced on the CLS-Class, the A-Class boasts clean styling and minimal lines. According to Mercedes-Benz's U.S. The lack of lines conspires with the short front and rear overhangs, and traditional three-box shape, of the A-Class to reveal a properly proportioned sedan. Like the exterior, the A-Class wears Mercedes' current interior design strategy well. The twin displays that sit atop the dash, understandably, get the most attention. But it's the smaller design touches of the A-Class that truly deserve praise. The climate vents feature the same elaborate turbine-like design as the AMG GT 4-Door, while the main spokes of the steering wheel are metal and boast the same touchpads found in pricier Mercedes models such as the E- and S-Class. The A-Class gets the same ambient lighting system as other new Mercedes products, too, and its impact on the cabin at night is hard to overstate. The A-Class feels premium during the day, but in the dark, the cabin shines with the same style and vibe of its bigger, more expensive siblings.
