Safety is a central element of the Mercedes-Benz brand, which has been developing numerous safety measures for its vehicles for 70 years. Through this partnership, Luminar will focus its approach on data-driven development to continuously improve and update Mercedes-Benz products.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>Much better automatic emergency braking, collision avoidance systems, those kinds of capabilities that can be derived from it.
