Has anyone driven an S-Class? It has almost every one on that list. What's it got in there that the others don't?

- Xylakant 13y agoMost interesting: Why libpcap, strace and netcat? Also: gcc in a car?
- dagw 13y agolibpcap can sniff Bluetooth and the S-class has Bluetooth? Otherwise I'm guessing it's probably all just part of their standard tool chain and someone said "give me a list of all open source software you used while developing the software for the S-class".
- dominicgs 13y agoBluetooth is certainly one possibility, although libpcap can be used for a broad range of protocols, including USB and CAN, which are other candidates in a system like this. Everything in this header that starts with DLT_ is a supported data link type: https://github.com/mcr/libpcap/blob/master/pcap/bpf.h https://github.com/mcr/libpcap/blob/master/pcap/bpf.h
- homeomorphic 13y agoSomeone else suggested that they're probably used by diagnostic tools.
- train_robber 13y agoAll that would be used for on-board diagnostics for the different electronic control units.
- czr80 13y agoThe S-class is famously the test bed for new technologies - they start at the high end and then slowly migrate downrange.
- chiph 13y agoS-class owners are also known as "beta testers" ;)
- tobyjsullivan 13y agoI notice there's a license in there for Android which is only used on the S-Class. I'm guessing most of those licenses on this model are a derivative of it's use.
- LeonM 13y agoAlthough optional, the S-class features tablet-like computers (with a browser and internet connection) for the rear-seated passengers. They also feature google maps navigation in the front and back. The 2014 model has even more of these options, see: http://www.slashgear.com/2014-mercedes-s-class-revealed-and-its-a-tech-monster-16282346/ http://www.slashgear.com/2014-mercedes-s-class-revealed-and-...
