Beginning of the end of an era?
Didn't the Chinese finally buy this venerable Marque?

I'm sure I saw a similar demo on similar technology somewhere before which failed!! possibly Mercedes??.

Yes they are owned by the Chinese

Merc duffed up an active cruise control demo and crashed it into another vehicle

made me think of the MB demo too.
