When the 2013 S-Class (W222/V222) was released, its technical advancements, driving assistants and safety features (e.g. detection of fatigue, night vision, magic body control, lane change assist, lane keeping assist, BAS plus, automatic braking to prevent crashing, self-parking, some ultrasonic sensors) and multimedia functionality were very exciting.
It was well ahead of anything else. In fact, Tesla's Model S had no driving assistants back then!
But some of those features such as 110V/230V power outlets (using step-up inverter), multimedia, massage seats etc. can actually be retrofitted in regular cars at low cost.
And in some occasions (vid8), it actually is safer deactivating the crash prevention brake.
