Visiting the Mercedes-Benz Design Studio felt like entering a secret lair, we were on total lock-down.  No phones, no cameras, no nothing. It was magic. They have a fascinating room that contains the Powerwall, a high-tech screen system that allows you to see renderings of the vehicles and concepts in a 1:1 scale, seamlessly swapping out colors, angles, and backgrounds.  All of this was controlled by a customized version of Autodesk Showcase, which at first glance looks like nothing more than a table with toys.  Then there was the showroom with all of the concept models.  I cannot wait for that f800 to be made, and those spaceships…wow.
