Mercedes-Benz is working on a new safety system than can automatically steer around pedestrians to avoid accidents.Ulrich Mellinghoff, head of safety development at Mercedes, says it's likely to appear within the next five years. Talking to What Car? at the Detroit motor ahow, Mellinghoff told us that in 80% of accidents with people, just 20% of a car's frontal area hits the pedestrian.This means it would take only 40-50cm of movement for a Mercedes to automatically swerve around a pedestrian that had been detected by the car.2010 Detroit Auto Show Photo Gallery2010 San Diego Auto Show Photo Gallery2011 Toyota Sienna Photo Gallery2009 LA Auto Show Photo GalleryAutoSpies.com Photo GalleriesIf you want to see your photos running on our homepage photo ticker, be sure to upload your photos on the go by sending them to Mobile@AutoSpies.com Share on Facebook There are photos and then there are AutoSpies.com photos!AutoSpies.com is ranked number one on Google search for auto showsRead Article
