Mercedes Benz: Transparent Walls

For the PRE-SAFE® precrash system from Mercedes-Benz, Jung von Matt/ Elbe, Hamburg and Mercedes made chaotic traffic intersections safer. Everybody was able to look around the corners into the streets as if the walls were transparent, and could therefore detect potential hazards in time to avoid them.To achieve this, Mercedes used a camera to film what was going on around the corner. The images were projected onto an 18/1-format billboard on a building corner so all motorists and cyclists could see them.
