You can find a wide selection of quality Mercedes-Benz vehicles at your favorite PA used car dealers. But the new feature that Mercedes is putting on some of its newest models won’t be on the lots of the PA used car dealers for another year or two at least. It’s still an exciting new feature to look for soon.
The Attention Assist System is a system of sensors that detects a variety of data to help the driver stay safe behind the wheel. The Attention Assist System detects driver habits, road conditions, vehicle speed and pedal operations. The computer then continuously analyzes the data to make sure the driver is alert at all times.
This would certainly come in handy for me. While I was driving home from a road trip recently, I drove all night save for a couple half-hour naps along the way. But I knew I was dozing off while driving on the highway. But if I had the Attention Assist System, it would’ve alerted me every time my driving habits were abnormal or less than attentive.
According to the researchers at Mercedes-Benz, a driver’s reaction time is cut in half after four hours of continuous driving. That means you are doubling your risk of accident. Unfortunately, you have a responsibility to other drivers so you should always be as alert as possible when you’re driving on the roads.
The feature hasn’t actually hit dealer lots yet, but you can visit your local Mercedes-Benz dealer to find out when you can get a model with the Attention Assist System.
