The comprehensive demands on vehicle safety are reflected in the Mercedes-Benz safety concept
which combines various aspects of active and passive safety into a holistic system. The brand's
striving for vehicle safety can be traced back to the early years of the automobile era. Since
the mid-2000s research has been largely focused on passive safety. Today Mercedes is setting
standards with forward-looking concepts for integrated safety. The goal is accident-free
driving still a dream of the future but every new development is a step forward.
