AUTONOMY: Mercedes-Benz E Class Will Out-Robot Top-of-the-Line S Class. “New cars famously lose value as they roll out of the dealership, and they may start losing it even faster now that tech—a perishable attribute—takes up so much of the sticker price. . . . The E Class will be able to stick to its lane, drive itself through dark tunnels and make lane changes, all at speeds up to 130 kilometers per hour (80 mph)—faster than the S Class now can do. It will also take bends in the road, though sharp turns are out—for the moment. And if the driver swerves to miss an obstacle, the system will step in to fine-tune the swerve and pull the car out of it afterward.”
