An Overview of Advances in Automotive Electronics [Automotive Electronics]

Magic Body Control (MBC) is an industry first - an anticipatory body-suspension-control system that will initially be available on V8 gasoline versions of the Mercedes 2014 S-Class vehicle. Mercedes believes that MBC is one element of a veritable plethora of technologies that will ultimately lead toward the goal of autonomous self-driving cars [1]. Descriptions of this vehicle?s 25 object-detection sensors, along with nine of its new plethora-of-technology systems, which use inputs from the 25 sensors, are found in [2].
