If you recently wondered why doesn't each of the new technologies pioneered by the latest Mercedes-Benz S-Class have a short film depicting its main advantages and how exactly its working its magic, the Germans have probably read your mind.

The Pre-Safe Brake warns the driver if the risk of a collision with either another vehicle or a pedestrian is detected by the combination of three radars and a stereo camera system and, if there is no driver reaction, can reduce the car's speed right up to full emergency braking.
The BAS Plus with Cross-Traffic Assist can reduce the risk of rear end collisions and complement the braking pressure during emergency braking, while the Distronic Plus with Steering Assist is pretty much a semi-autonomous driving system. Check out the three videos below for the full explanation for each technology.
