The awesome Mercedes-Benz F 700 Research Car

The monitor, with an overall diagonal display measurement of 51 centimeters, and the surround sound system turn the F 700 into an impressive 3D cinema. Though the display operates with special films, it also can show conventional 2D pictures in high quality.

A very special cinema experience is provided more or less in real time by the Roadview function: Two cameras observe the surrounding traffic. One is located behind the upper edge of the windshield and serves primarily as a sensor for the night view assist or the lane assistant; a second is installed in the “fin” at the rear edge of the car roof. The images captured by these cameras can be transferred to the 8-inch monitors in the head restraints, as an alternative to the entertainment program. Particularly when the images are shown in the direction of travel, the head restraints appear “transparent” and the sense of spaciousness is enhanced even more for the passengers in the rear.
