Mercedes-Benz Teases Autonomous Driving Concept

Mercedes-Benz teased an image which previews an autonomous driving concept. The yet-unnamed show car will be introduced at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) next week as Mercedes adds another vehicle to its list of contributions in the world of autonomous concepts. If you didn't know already, the company also showcased an autonomous truck concept recently.

The image eschews the traditional two- or three-box styling in favour of a monobox design. The other-worldly look is accented by design cues like a long wheelbase and tiny overhangs on both ends. There is a discreet bulge on the rear portion of the roof which, we presume, hides a variety of sensors and cameras that help the concept scope out the road ahead.

None of the tech specs have been revealed but we are sure that there will be an eco-friendly powertrain under the hood. It will officially debut on January 5, 2014 and we should know more then.
