Out of the multitude of safety systems the 2014 Mercedes S-Class is fitted with, Mercedes places a strong focus on the Stop&Go Pilot, which assists the driver in steering the car. The company has now released a commercial for the feature.
The clip draws a parallel between a conductor who leads his orchestra with no hands and the aforementioned feature.

Ads aside, this function of the S-Class is actually a link top the future, as it is a form of autonomous driving. The vehicle still requires the driver to keep its hands on the wheel in order for it to automatically operate the steering, but Mercedes said that it has prototypes that can steer fully autonomously.

The company is currently working on on cars that can also overtake other vehicles on their own, but the are still many steps to be made down this pathway.
