Every car on the road is a Mercedes
Wishful thinking on our part? Perhaps. But more important, no matter what kind of vehicle you drive, you’re probably enjoying technology that Mercedes-Benz developed first. Since 1886, when we patented the very first automobile, we’ve been continually testing, designing and innovating to make automobiles better. In fact, Mercedes-Benz has pioneered, patented and introduced thousands of advances in performance, safety and convenience — many of which eventually show up on virtually every automobile. Along the way, we’ve created items that many might take for granted now, but were revolutionary when they were introduced, including fuel injection, 4-wheel independent suspension — even the honeycomb radiator design of 1901 that still makes efficient engine-cooling possible today. You’ll also find state-of-the-art safety features like our ESP stability control and emergency-sensing Brake Assist. We’re flattered that so many of our competitors adopt our technology. So if you’re wondering what all cars will have in the future, all you have to do is see what’s on a Mercedes today.
