Mercedes-Benz ESF – The Safest Car Ever?
 * //__Hey welcome to my page!__//**

Most cars manufactured today have better safety standards than cars made in the last 10 years. When purchasing a new car, safety is the number one priority for many individuals. Crash tests to show the impact on a car and its occupants are standard. Mercedes-Benz ESF is a new hybrid full-size luxury car offered by the German automaker as the number one safety vehicle. Luxury cars manufactured today have plenty of airbags on the inside of the vehicle but, Mercedes-Benz ESF has an airbag under the car known as the “braking bag.” This bas has a sensor which detects that an accident will occur and before the crash, the bag inflates and pushes a metal plate down onto the road and helps the car to slow down and reduce impact which is extremely valuable when faced with a collision. There are many other great features such as an airbag located inside a metal beam in the car door which upon impact, inflates and pushes the beam out to help absorb the impact from the side. Infrared night vision is wonderful because it recognizes human shapes on or near the road and projects them unto a screen inside the vehicle. If you prefer to watch the road instead of the screen, the feature allows the system to shine directly unto the pedestrians or animals which cannot be seen outside the headlight beams. The new models also have a “Pre-safe Pulse” which has an outside seat bolster with pushes the individual inward and away from the door during hard cornering. Seat belts are required around the world and help to reduce deaths due to collisions. The new Mercedes-Benz seat belt has a built-in airbag which helps to eliminate the serious injuries caused by standard seat belts known to cause injuries to a person’s ribcage. It would be to our advantage if all vehicles would offer these safety features. Unfortunately, the price for this standard equipment must be astronomical and at this time would not be affordable to the middle class individuals.
