German automaker Mercedes-Benz is taking another step toward autonomous driving with the launch of connected features for its latest E-Class model. The vehicle, which will be available next spring, includes an Intelligent Drive system that enables the driver to ease off the controls on long stretches of road and a Remote Parking Pilot, which lets the owner park their car while standing outside of the vehicle using their cell phone. Rolling out semi-autonomous driving in a consumer model may help convince consumers of the benefits of the now-experimental full-fledged self-driven cars.
