The front two seats of this vehicle can completely turn towards rear. Thus, it turns the vehicle interiors into a conference room. The passengers can enjoy the time as the vehicle drives on its own. To add further to the comfort of passengers, the car has six HD screens fitted on the inner sides of rear door panels and instrument cluster. This provides endless possibilities of entertainment and two-way communication between vehicle and passengers.

The F015 takes vehicle safety to new heights by incorporating some of the excellent safety features. One such feature is the recognition of the pedestrians on road. The vehicle stops automatically as it recognizes the people crossing the street at the zebra crossing. The previous motion is attained again as the pedestrians pass in front of the vehicle.

While braking, Mercedes F015 gives out an audio signal in addition to the bright warning light that displays a message ‘STOP’ and enhances the safety.
