Among the most pronounced features of the upcoming luxury class that has been making the rounds on the internet is its autonomous Park Pilot, which allows the owner to park the car via remote control.
It is actually the same as that of the BMW 7 Series so the one in the Mercedes-Benz E-Class is officially the second in the world although there are reported testing already being done on self-driving vehicles since last year, most notably by Google and Apple.
At least, what the Park Pilot of the 2017 Mercedes-Benz E-Class is just a baby step for the supposed self-driving vehicles of the future.
Accordingly, the Park Pilot is to be controlled by a smartphone app called “Mercedes connect me.” As the feature is still on its trial phase, it will only be available in other countries but not in the US because the German luxury carmaker is apparently using another app in America.
Then there is also the unique feature of the 2017 E-Class where an NFC smartphone can be used as an alternate for car keys. Most of the latest smartphones can be used to open the vehicle door of the luxury sedan because they already have the NFC feature.
