Mercedes' invention warns against dirty cars

Mercedes has applied for a patent for an invention that can warn drivers that it is time to wash the car. That is, when the car is too dirty.

Mercedes has filed a patent for a technology that warns of dirty cars. The innovation, which is being touted as a breakthrough in car care, is designed to notify car owners when their car needs a wash.

The system works by collecting data about previous car washes, the distance traveled and the current weather conditions.

This information is used to assess whether the car has been exposed to conditions that require a wash. For example, if the car has been driving on dirty roads or exposed to bad weather for an extended period, the system will recommend a wash.

Another feature is the integration with the car's navigation system. This allows the system to suggest nearby car washes and provide information about prices and available times. This allows the car owner to easily plan a visit to a car wash.

This technology has the potential to change the way car owners think about car care. Instead of having to assess when the car is dirty and needs a wash, you can leave it to a system that automatically notifies you.

This can be particularly useful during periods of bad weather, when it is difficult to keep the car clean anyway.

Regular car washing is not only important for the appearance of your car. It can also help protect the paint and extend the life of your car. Regular cleaning also keeps rust at bay.

By automating this process, Mercedes can help make car care more efficient and less time-consuming.

It's not just Mercedes that's working on developing technology to make car care easier. Other car manufacturers have also developed systems that can detect when the car needs to be washed.

What these technologies have in common is that they seek to make it easier for car owners to keep their cars clean and in good condition.

Mercedes' patent for this technology is an expression of a trend in the automotive industry, which is increasingly focusing on functions outside the car. That is, something that has nothing directly to do with the car.

For example, Toyota will in the future know how passengers in new cars will defecate. Read more about it here .

Although the technology is not yet available in cars, the patent provides an insight into what the future of car care may look like. After all, not all car owners are equally good at washing their cars. Not even if it just happens to be done in a car wash.

However, a study has shown that Toyota owners are actually the ones who care the least about car washing and maintenance of their cars.
