According to Mercedes Benz, the main goal of the brand’s technology is to halve the number of deaths and accidents involving its vehicles

The German automaker Mercedes Benz already has a date for the launch of its newest technology: vehicles that are proof against fatal accidents. However, ensuring that vehicles can “see” the dangers of the roads is not an easy task. As intelligent as they may be, the safety systems of these vehicles still struggle with certain situations and end up causing accidents.

To achieve the main goal, the company is delving deeper into occupant and pedestrian protection, with Mercedes Benz already having established a plan for the technology: zero fatal accidents by 2050.

According to Paul Dick, head of vehicle safety at the German automaker, the goal is to create an accident-proof driving system: “Highly automated driving will be crucial to its success,” he asserts.

The automaker aims to achieve the brand’s goal by transitioning through a new automotive management and safety platform, the “MB.OS.” The idea is to have a more advanced control base that can immediately respond to data provided by the sensors installed in the vehicle, which does not currently happen, according to Mercedes.

The other strong point of the equipment will be the “Road Safety Dashboard” (or RSD), which will be capable of assessing, in real time, statistics on road incidents and avoiding traffic in risk areas. The technology is already undergoing testing in London.

The “Mercedes-Benz Road Safety Dashboard” will show potential collision hotspots on an easily accessible road map with plenty of information about vulnerable and unprotected road users (pedestrians and cyclists), according to the company’s statement about the technology.

Goals to Be Met

Another step toward achieving the central objective of the company is the reduction of the number of deaths and serious injuries in collisions involving the brand’s vehicles by 2030 (considering the numbers from 2020 as a baseline).

The initiative, named “Vision Zero,” is also related to the collaboration of different traffic institutions to improve these statistics on the roads, concludes Mercedes.

Goals to Be Met

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

BYD officially enters the semiconductor race by launching the Xuanji A3, a self-developed chip in China that reinforces the technological verticalization strategy and can reduce costs in millions of smart vehicles.

While SpaceX lands rockets as a routine, Spain wants to enter orbit with its own recoverable microlauncher; the Miura 5 emerged from a Spanish startup, gained a complex in Kourou, and aims to transform small satellites into a sovereign European market.

India tested the Agni-5 capable of carrying multiple independent warheads and, in the same round, conducted the first firing of a scramjet engine, joining a group that only the United States, Russia, and China were part of.

Canada is preparing a billion-dollar megaproject with 3.5 GW of wind energy, up to 530 turbines, green hydrogen, and ammonia for export, in a bid that could place the country at the center of the new global race for clean fuels.
