The Mercedes-Benz S500 has a mind of its own. It can actually outthink the driver at times and make smart decisions regarding car movements and safe operations. Microprocessors connect with numerous on-board sensors that measure forward and lateral movement, tire rotations, passenger load, and even conditions of a roadbed and the traffic on it. These computers filter out all data and then automatically deploy various commands based on need or demand.
             For instance, sensors in the new suspension system determine vehicular payload, speed and road conditions and then adjust dampers on shock absorbers to smooth out or firm up the ride quality. Still other devices measure wheel speed and lateral acceleration and can then break an individual wheel to correct potential skidding or spinning of the car. The smart cruise control that is standard in the new S500 uses the Doppler effect in its radar to measure the distance to the car in front and then adjusts the throttle or even applies brakes to maintain a pre-set minimum distance between the two vehicles. For those who never know where to go, the S500 also has a navigation system built in; which helps you find your final travel destination.
             The Mercedes-Benz S500 has a powerful 5 litter V-8 engine producing 302 hp with 339 lb-ft of torque. The S500 will accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in only 5.9 seconds, which is exceptionally quick for having a weight of two tons.
             Other notable mechanical tools include power rack and a pinion steering for precise turning control. Plus power-assisted disc brakes tied to anti-lock and traction control systems, which go hand in hand with the stability control program. The Mercedes innovation Brake Assist is also aboard that would automatically apply full braking force during panic stops to shorten the stopping distance by as much as 45 percent. In case impact would occur, the Mercedes engineers incorporated 10 airbags in the S500 to secure
