On the consideration of firsts in safety, performance and driving enjoyment, it’s an exciting roadmap to the future. And while there’s a never-ending roster of new achievements, there’s only one reason the world's first automaker remains first in innovation. When it started international production, for the last decade it has successfully established itself in a lot of international production due to the increase in demand and in the attempt to reduce cost and that has improved the sales of Mercedes-Benz.

These autonomous cars have the most advanced technological systems available that provide the best timing and precision of braking systems so there are no accidents at red lights. The computer system within these cars are able to recognize objects, navigate and cruise the streets at the responsible speed. A signal sent from a GPS, street camera, radar and other sensors can guide the car and recognize everything around the vehicle without help from a user. This system is similar to the current Volkswagen Passat emergency breaking system. However, the Cortex R52 chip can gather more data and information that does not require a human at the wheel like the Passat or Tesla does.

An autonomous car is a vehicle that does not need a human driver in order to work.

Sense the 1930s this firm has been translating their expertise of engineering into the esthetic design of their vehicles.

In 2015, between September 18 and September 28, the market capitalization of Volkswagen AG (FRA: VOW) fell from $95 billion to $60 billion. This staggering loss is not commonly seen in stock markets, especially in “blue chips” companies.
