Self driving car called “Intelligent drive” will introduced early next year 2014 by Mercedes-Benz S-Class. This S-Class include a machine that can spot a dangerous situation, stereo cameras and rear radar and so on. As more cars have the ability to drive themselves “Figuratively speaking, the next S-Class won't just have eyes at the front; it will have 360-degree all-round vision,” said Thomas Weber, head of Mercedes-Benz research and development in a statement released in November.
Mobileye has shipped a million of its chips since it began production in 2007 and expects to ship two million chips in 2013.

An outgrowth of advanced cruise control, in which a radar can be set to keep a car under a certain speed and also from advancing too quickly on a vehicle ahead, the latest systems warn of danger and may apply brakes.
