00:00New Mercedes S-Class which is available with a thermal imaging camera
00:04which sends a feed from the front of the car onto the dashboard
00:06so you can see what's ahead at night beyond the range of your headlights.
00:11We've got some footage of it here.
00:12So as you're driving along, the camera can see animals.
00:15There you go. It picks them out in red.
00:16All people, as it's going along, there is an animal, you see.
00:20That's clever. Yeah, it's a bit of a gimmick.
00:21Oh, no, you say that, James, but I was coming back to my flat in London
00:25quite late in the S-Class with that turned off.
00:27And as I was going up, it picked out a red box in some bushes
00:31just outside my front door.
00:33So I drove up. I thought, what on earth is that at this time of the morning?
00:37I drove up. When the headlights got there, paparazzi photographer.
00:40So it can actually find paps hiding in the dark?
00:43Yeah, but there's a problem because when I try to run him down,
00:47as you get near, it automatically applies the brakes.
00:51So what's the point of targeting somebody if you then can't hit them?
00:55Then pull that through.
00:56Back to the drawing board with that, please, Mercedes.
00:59Back to the drawing board with that, please, Mercedes.
