Yesterday’s headlines

Today’s video

How do you like this? Mercedes Benz has discovered drones to help promote their cars such as the Mercedes-Benz A-Class that we can see driving through the beautiful Croatian landscape. Mercedes-Benz is a little late to the party perhaps as BMW has worked with DJI in the past already to do just this. You can check that one out right here.

Here is what Mercedes-Benz had to say:

“Check out the new Mercedes-Benz A-Class (2018) from a drone’s eye view driving through the beautiful Croatian countryside.”

Update: We had asked MB what drone they had used for the making of this video to which they responded:

“We’re happy you liked the video. 😊 We can’t share all of our secrets though… Thank you for your understanding! 😉”
