Mercedes has a history of safety innovations, I expect nothing less here?
While 40 crash tests are required for world certification, Mercedes' own internal standards dictated that they do 150 for the new E-Class. In addition to real world testing, they ran 17,000 computer simulated crashes too (with objects ranging from goats to phone booths…kidding). As we alluded to earlier, some of the biggest upgrades over the previous E-Class come in the form of new safety features, including lane departure warning, night vision that actually detects and alerts the driver to pedestrians, and additional airbags in places you didn't even know needed protection (like your pelvis).
