Mercedes S-Class Test Gone Wrong

In this case "S" Class must stand for "Salvage." The Australian car magazine Wheels reports a humiliating public car test by Mercedes. The company was promoting the "proximity control" on its top of the line S-Class, and it staged a demonstration on an airport runway. Three S-Class sedans were driven down the runway through a simulated fog. The first car was to slam on its brakes. In theory, the proximity control would automatically apply the brakes to the other two. Didn't happen. BAM BAM, three wrecked 6-figure cars.
