When we went and saw the Vision EQXX last year, the automaker was working on some exciting tech in 3D maps in its UX navigation – some of which we’ve seen integrated into actual EQ-line EVs. One of the stations we were shuffled into at the Mercedes-Benz IDC was an augmented reality experience built around a cockpit that simulates that of the Vision One Eleven concept. Mercedes’s concept imagines a new way of augmented driving I do however want to point out two very interesting technologies that I got to learn about firsthand – both of which relate to the Vision One Eleven concept seen below. This is a similar design approach to last year’s debut of the Vision EQXX EV, of which several new technologies have since been integrated into EV designs donning the star badge, including the automaker’s upcoming MMA platform.īefore the official debut of the new Vision One Eleven, we were swiftly but politely herded like cattle through the sectioned-off IDC, station to station, where we learned about many of the exciting designs the automaker has going on.Īdmittedly, some of these stations involved combustion vehicles – or, at the very least, hybrids – so we’re going to skip that recap. While we can’t talk about the main reason for our trip to California just yet, Mercedes-Benz and its design team had a jam-packed schedule for us leading up to an exciting world premiere of a new Vision concept that features several innovations we could eventually see in production EVs. Mercedes’s new concept is an exercise in nostalgic creativity.Axial flux motors could be the future of electric hypercars.
