In select markets such as Germany, Mercedes-Benz drivers will soon be able to receive audible warnings as they approach potholes and speed bumps.
models have the technology to detect potholes and speed bumps, although it will be rolled out to other new models in the future. However, all Mercedes-Benz passenger cars built from 2016 onwards will be able to receive the warnings, provided that the owner has activated the online-based Car-toX Communication service.
Of course, one car will need to hit each pothole before it becomes registered on the cloud-based system. A signal is sent when a certain threshold value is reached during sudden suspension compression and rebound, and the system can also distinguish speed bumps through another algorithm. There is no word on when the Car-to-X communication system will be offered in South Africa, however, given the proliferation of potholes and speed bumps on our roads, owners might soon tire of the audible warnings.
