During the unveiling of the F015 Luxury in Motion, Daimler AG Chairman and Mercedes-Benz Cars Chief Dieter Zetsche said the vehicle was geared toward future roads populated with “exclusive cocoons on wheels.”

“Anyone who focuses solely on the technology has not yet grasped how autonomous driving will change our society,” he said. “The car is growing beyond its role as a mere means of transport and will ultimately become a mobile living space.”
