奔驰在今年消费电子展(CES)上发布了F 015 Luxury in Motion氢动力概念车。奔驰形容这款车是“自动驾驶豪华轿车”，这也是戴姆勒为应对消费的对自动驾驶车辆日益增长的兴趣而开发的车型。该车长度为5220毫米，宽度2018毫米，高度1524毫米，轴距3610毫米。在外观方面，该车拥有太空船一般美轮美奂的流线型外表，车身正面的中网带有蓝色背光，加上新的大面积弧形式设计，非常具有未来主义风格。它的车轮很大，约有22英寸，车轮位置尽量向四角延伸，这样的设计可以使车内空间更为宽敞。至于内装，车内设有多块屏幕，乘客可以像坐在公园的长椅上一样，通过车门上的触摸屏来控制汽车或者进行娱乐活动。而且将来还会实现手势和眼球控制。在车门打开的一瞬间，电控座椅可以自动向外旋转30度，这样可以更便于人们抬腿坐进座椅内。最酷的是，车辆最前方的LED灯可以在街道上投射出一条临时的人行横道，告诉路人可以通行。此外还可以根据当前的驾驶模式改变车身灯光颜色:手动驾驶时为白色，自动驾驶时为蓝色。尽管新概念车仍然设置了驾驶座舱，但是自动驾驶实现之后，车内的四个可旋转座椅可以转向后方，从而实现车内乘客可以面对面的交谈、娱乐或者办公。

Mercedes-Benz has released more images and details with the F 015 Luxury in Motion concept.
Described as being a "self-driving luxury sedan", the F 015 Luxury in Motion concept is Daimler's response to an increasing interest in autonomous vehicles. The interesting egg-shaped concept is 5220mm long, 2018mm wide and 1524mm tall, with a generous 3610mm wheelbase while the B pillars are absent to grant easier access to the lounge-like cabin. For the same purpose, the vehicle's doors open at a 90-degree angle.
The interior cabin hosts features four rotating lounge chairs which can grant a face-to-face seat configuration. Interestingly, as soon as the doors are opened, the electrically-powered seats will automatically swing outwards by 30 degrees. The dashboard hosts no less than six individual displays providing support for touch, gesture and eye tracking functions to diminish distractions as much as possible.
As far as the powertrain is concerned, the concept uses an evolution of the system installed in the 2011 F 125! research vehicle, with a plug-in hydrogen fuel cell electric setup offering a range of 684 miles (1,100 km). Power comes from two rear-mounted electric motors each outputting 136 hp (100 kW) and 147 lb-ft (199 Nm) sent to the rear axle and granting a combined output of 268 bhp (200 kW) and 294 lb-ft (398 Nm). It's enough for a 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) run in 6.7 seconds and an electronically-limited top speed of 124 mph (200 km/h).
