Mercedes S-class: Closest thing yet to a self-driving car

Now about that interior. Mercedes cars always have nice interiors and this one's no different. It's got some interesting options like leather trim with a diamond-shaped pattern punched into it. Then there's wood trim that's infused with silver so that it looks, honestly, like metal with a wood grain. It's the kind of thing a lot of people would hate, but I found myself strangely taken to it.

Then there's the ambient light. Plenty of cars these days have adjustable ambient lighting systems that allow you to choose in what color you'd like your cabin to glow. But, in the S-Class the light comes out from, seemingly, everywhere and with impressive brightness and clarity. You can turn it down, but it's so much fun when the lights are turned up. You can pretend you're piloting a Berlin nightclub down the interstate.
