Today I’m driving a 2021 Mercedes-Benz S580. It’s for that paying gig I have over with Autotrader where they let me make the talkies. As a total MB fanboy, I knew I was going to like this thing. But as a fan of tech things in general, this car is insane. It’s fitted with a 30-speaker Burmeister sound system complete with in-seat bass resonators (which you can adjust the intensity of or just shut off completely). The headrests are heated. And the gauge cluster can project a 3D-like display through the use of a pair of cameras and eye-tracking software, and it actually works well.
There’s so much tech in this thing. Thankfully, it’s still extremely comfortable, drives amazingly well, and has a commanding S-Class-level presence on the road. It’s not just tech for the sake of tech, but it’s close.
But is it missing anything? What sort of tech do you wish was available on cars today? What haven’t automakers thought of that would be a welcome addition to your daily commute?
