More on 2014...
Here's an article from CAR Magazine with some additional details on the new features for the 2014 E-class. Of course, not all of them will be available in the U.S.
http://www.carmagazine.co.uk/Secret-...-Detroit-2013/
• Improved night assistant: Not only draws the attention to cyclists and pedestrians but also warns of crossing wild animals
• Dynamic light assistant: No longer uses adaptive bi-xenon technology but relies on fast moving multi-directional LED from CLS pixels which automatically avoid oncoming traffic
• Intelligent lane assistant: Not only monitor own lane but also supervises oncoming traffic and will issue an early collision warning
• Intelligent brake assistant: Derived from Distronic III, this radar-based cruise control keeps an eye on the vehicle in front and - as a world first - on cross traffic
• Congestion assistant: Automatically follows the vehicle in front at speeds of up to 40mph even if the route involves direction and lane changes
• Magic ride control: Employs a stereo camera which scans the road surface and makes the black box adjust damper action accordingly
• Head-up display: Extended functions, state-of-the-art graphics, multi-colour imaging
• Car-to-X-communication: Recognises police/ambulance/fire brigade vehicles, relays car-to-car messages like black ice or aquaplaning warning, permits partially autonomous driving though brief steering, brake and acceleration inputs

Interesting. If people think MB owners are snooty now, wait until our cars start supervising traffic. Maybe it will project a hologram flagger stopping oncoming traffic until we are safely and conveniently past? I'd upgrade for this!
