Mercedes-Benz EQB : des technologies qui Mercedes-Benz EQB: technologies that impress
November 25 2022,
The Mercedes-Benz EQB, the newest electric vehicle in the Mercedes-Benz family, shows up with impressive styling, interesting performance, and incredible fuel economy promises.
The model also offers some very interesting and impressive technologies. Let's take a look at two of them.
Smart Navigation
With an electric vehicle, it's important to know where the charging stations are. The EQB's system intelligently takes many factors into account to plan the fastest route, including charging stops. It can even react dynamically to changes, such as traffic jams. While a conventional range calculator relies on past data, the EQB's electrically intelligent navigation system looks into the future. That can make all the difference.
The route calculation takes into account, for example, the electric range, the current electric consumption, the topography of the proposed route (which may require more or less energy depending on the ascents and descents), the temperature, etc. It even knows the location of accessible charging stations and their capacity. And if the autonomy becomes critical, the vehicle will suggest you to turn off the air conditioning or simply select the Eco mode. Its goal is to get you to your destination.
PRE-SAFE Sound
When we say Mercedes-Benz goes the extra mile to protect you, PRE-SAFE Sound is a great example.
Part of the Mercedes-Benz PRE-SAFE safety suite, PRE-SAFE Sound is activated if your vehicle senses that a collision is unavoidable. In this case, PRE-SAFE emits a short interference signal via the vehicle's audio system. This signal (Pink Noise) is deployed at approximately 80 decibels, which is about the same level of noise as a busy roadside. This signal activates a reflex in your ear, protecting the eardrum and reducing the damage that collision noise can do to your hearing.
The sound protects your ear by triggering the stapedial reflex. This causes the stapedial muscle to contract, weakening the connection between the eardrum and the inner ear for a fraction of a second. In effect, some of the sound pressure is reflected back into the eardrum instead of being transmitted to the inner ear. This helps mitigate hearing damage caused by high sound pressure or loud noises.
You won't find this kind of attention with any brand of vehicle.
