▲ Tuyuan Mercedes-Benz, the following foreign media quoted sources as saying that Mercedes-Benz's move was inspired by the Vision One-Eleven concept car unveiled some time ago, which is equipped with a special-shaped steering wheel, which Mercedes-Benz also believes will not hinder the driver's vision ahead.

At the same time, Mercedes-Benz will also introduce a new on-line steering system to eliminate the traditional steering column, which is expected to be launched on the next generation of pure electric flagship sedan EQS. The steering wheel and by-wire steering system will be put into use as early as 2027 and will be used in the next generation of Mercedes-Benz S-Class, EQS and other models, and then is expected to "devolve" to other popular models.

According to sources, the capacitive touch button that Mercedes-Benz now has on the steering wheel has been severely criticized by users because it is "unreliable" and difficult to operate during driving.
