Mercedes is the latest manufacturer to lock auto features behind a subscription fee, with an upcoming “Acceleration Increase” add-on that lets drivers pay to access motor performance their vehicle is already capable of.

As you can see from the photos the automaker provided, Mercedes didn’t reinvent its interior design language.

It includes a 12.3-inch OLED display that allows the front passenger to watch video content while the car is moving. If an onboard camera detects the driver sneaking a glimpse of the display, the screen will automatically dim to refocus their eyes on the road.

When they crash, self-driving Mercedes will be programmed to save the driver, and not the person or people they hit.
