Waaaay back in the '90s, Mercedes-Benz developed an autonomous system installed in a 1995 W140 S-Class. The car, packed full of microprocessors making it the equivalent of a supercomputer at the time, drove over 1,000 miles from Munich to Copenhagen, and even hit 115 mph on the Autobahn with little to no input from a human driver.

Due to their off-road capabilities, Unimogs can be found in jungles, mountains and deserts as military vehicles, fire fighters, and expedition campers. In Western Europe, they are commonly used as snowploughs.

A smart key is an electronic access and authorization system, first introduced by Mercedes-Benz under the name "Key-less Go" in 1998 on the W220 S-Class.

Rudolf Caracciola's record of 432.7 km/h (268 mph) over the flying kilometre on 28 January 1938, remained the fastest ever officially timed speed on a public road until broken on 5 November 2017 by Koenigsegg in an Agera RS driven by Niklas Lilja, achieving 445.6 km/h (276.9 mph) on a closed highway in Nevada.

The W111 marked a milestone in car design with front and rear crumple zones for absorbing kinetic energy on impact.

Stuttgart is home to the Mercedes-Benz brand and the international headquarters of Daimler AG.

The exterior design of the Mercedes-Benz Bionic was modeled after the yellow boxfish (Ostracion cubicus), a marine fish that lives in coral reefs. The company decided to model the Bionic after this fish due to the low coefficient of drag of its body shape and the rigidity of its exoskeleton.

The W116 automobiles were the first Mercedes-Benz models to be officially called S-Class, although earlier sedans had unofficially been designated with the letter 'S' for Sonderklasse or "special class." In 1978, the W116 began to offer an ABS system from Bosch as an option.

The Benz Patent-Motorwagen was a three-wheeled automobile with a rear-mounted engine.

The Mercedes-Benz slogan reads "Das Beste oder nichts", which in English means "The best or nothing".
