2009 S-Class Mercedes-Benz

2009 S-Class facelift to feature Mercedes-Benz SPLITVIEW Screen Technology

Click to enlarge image

The 2009 Mercedes-Benz S-Class will debut an enhancement to the vehicle�s COMAND navigation and entertainment system called SPLITVIEW. Yes, you got it right, it�s going to appear in a production car. Basically, the COMAND 8 inch LCD screen at the front will be able to display two different screens depending on the angle you are viewing it from.

For example, the driver sitting on the left (in a left hand drive car) will be able to view a screen displaying GPS navigation maps and instructions while the front passenger viewing the screen from the right will be able to watch a DVD. To prevent distracting the driver, the passenger can use a supplied pair of headphones for the DVD�s audio.

This is achieved by a technique that places pixels adjacent to each other, then using a filter that divides the image in such a way that only certain pixels can be seen depending on the viewing angle.

Mercedes-Benz Concept BlueZero to tackle alternative fuels in 3 different ways, sort of

Some are going the way of the electric car, and some are going the way of the fuel cell. Some are doing both. Mercedes-Benz has decided to take it up a notch and do three at once - an electric vehicle, an extended range electric vehicle and a fuel cell vehicle. When January 2009 rolls around, the 2009 Detroit Motor Show will bring us the new Mercedes-Benz Concept BlueZero, which comes in 3 variants.

The first variant is the Concept BlueZero E-Cell. It�s powered by an electric motor and a lithium ion battery that supports plug-in charging that give you 100km of maximum range in 2 hours of charging. That�s going to be an issue in Europe - city driving will be fine but what about cross country tours across the vast European continent?

That�s where the BlueZero E-Plus Cell comes in. It�s an extended range electric vehicle, which means it has an internal combustion engine installed at the back that burns through regular fuel not to power the wheels but to generate electricity to recharge the batteries. This takes the range up to 600km, and you can get more just by topping up the fuel.

Finally you have the BlueZero F-Cell, which uses a fuel cell that produces electricity from hydrogen, something Stuttgart have already been dabbling in in the past.

Look at more images of the Mercedes-Benz Concept BlueZero after the jump.

In a filing with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Mercedes said the cruise control may not disengage when the driver steps on the brake pedal, which could lead to a crash. Mercedes says the system can still be shut off by using the cruise-control stalk or by pumping the brake pedal.
