With the spotlight turned on the recent Open Championship, Mercedes-Benz introduced the Vision Golf Cart after hundreds of golf and car enthusiasts took part in an international competition by submitting their ideas for a golf cart of the future.
The Mercedes-Benz Advanced Design Center in Carlsbad, California, developed the Vision Golf Cart by combining the aspects of Mercedes-Benz vehicles with the functionality of a golf cart. It's a street-legal, electrically powered cart with headlights, turn signals, and taillights.
The vehicle is controlled in innovative and intuitive fashion via a joystick mounted on the centre console, so either passenger can drive the golf cart.
The trunk is large enough to hold 2 golf bags, while the lightweight door panels feature a click-in function that makes them very easy to install if the weather is not so good.
Other highlights include a rotatable docking station for an iPad or iPhone, Bluetooth connectivity, head-up display, communication with the clubhouse and other golf carts, as well as the ability to share the digital score card or even photos from the golf game directly on social media channels.
Oh, and let's not forget the “Fore” button which can be used to quickly warn other players of a misplaced shot.
