So the Mercedes A Class isn't something new.

It's a compact car that's been around for a while.

It's a gasoline powered car so it's not electric, which is what we're usually interested in,

but the technology inside of it is still pretty interesting and that's what we're going to

Mercedes brought us out here to Amsterdam.

This isn't a sponsored video but they did pay for the flight, so keep that in mind.

Even though electric cars are the way of the future, the technology is progressing through

So some of the technology we see inside of the gasoline powered cars is what's going

to end up in the electric cars in the future.

So we're inside the event now and we don't see the car just yet.

There is a camo version over here which I'll show you in just a second, but we're wondering

where the real cars are going to come out.

[Dan] I think it's going to come out of the ground right here on this circle.

[Zack] It's a huge circle so it might happen that way.

But I'm thinking that this garage door is going to open up and the cars are going to

We're going to wait for two hours in the front row just so that we can can have a front seat.

[Zack] We're going to get the best shot of these cars coming out...after we get some

[Zack] So this is a camo-ed version of the real car.

They have it painted with all these different lines and curves and stuff so if it's, you

know, if pictures are taken out in public, it kind of hides the definition of the car.

The real version will be painted like normal and not camouflaged.

All the insides are covered up, but I'm pretty sure this is close to the final version...unlike

the Faraday car which the interior was unfinished.

It looks like this is vinyl tape over the whole car.

So right now I'm standing on like the center stage where the whole presentation is going

And we're in this huge warehouse that used to be right next to the docks....remember

And so if you look up here, right here is like the sky crane thing that travels along

these huge metal rails all along the length of the building.

And I'm assuming they used to build like big boats and stuff in here.

We saw the same thing at the NASA facility back when I went and watched the Space X launch.

So it's cool that Mercedes is repurposing this building for one of their events.

[Zack] We thought the car was going to come out...but that wasn't the car.

[Dan] There's like the one more thing in reverse.

[Speaker] Please stand up and check it out for yourselves.

[Zack] So this is the Mercedes A Class and it might be the most high tech car they've

ever made and the exterior looks pretty sweet as well.

So one thing I really like about this car is that there are hardly any seams.

You can see that this body panel goes all the way up over the door and all the way down

They've tried to get rid of all of the creases and all of the seams between the body panels

This is the A Class 2018 and it has dual displays, one here on the left and one here on the right,

And the cool thing about the display is, right here on this little head up unit, is that

I can control this tiny little track pad by my thumb.

So as I swipe up and down, you can see that centered console moving around up and down

And this screen over here is handled with my other thumb.

I can swipe through all the different menus and displays, and pressing it, you know, moves

through all the maps and stuff like that.

It's pretty sweet, and there are a bunch of safety features as well.

There are a bunch of cameras and stuff all around the outside of the vehicle with radar

and lidar, and the sensors we've seen inside of the Tesla's and other cars.

But one safety feature that I've never heard of before is something to protect your ears

So you know those few split seconds when you're holding something glass and you drop it and

you know 100% for sure that it's going to hit the ground and shatter everywhere?

Cars can think faster than humans and they realize through all of their sensors when

something is going to crash, and all of the speakers in the car will emit a frequency

And kind of how like your pupils dilate when you see the sun and when you see light, and

it keeps the light from going in your eyes and like damaging it.

The same thing happens when the sound emits from the speakers.

It's kind of like a white noise little blip, and it will keep your ears from getting damaged

when you crash into something, because crashes are noisy.

And that's not something that everybody thinks about, you know, your ears.

It's like when you're playing video games and someone tosses a grenade [grenade explosion

sound], [ringing sound] and you have that ringing sound in your ears in the video game?

The same thing happens after loud noises and explosions and crashes.

And Mercedes has taken that into consideration and protected your ears in this car.

There's also a little touch pad down here at the bottom and this controls, you know,

more...there are so many buttons inside of this car it's insane.

I'm still going to drive my Tacoma around everywhere, but it's nice to see where the

technology is headed, whether it's a gas engine or an electric engine, you know, the technology
