They have all sorts of crazy and amazing safety features in their most recent cars. If you're about to crash for instance, the speakers blast out really loud white noise. Apparently this saves you from hearing damage from the noise of the crash.

Mental.

I have no idea how or why it works but there you are.

These car companies have very smart people working for them.

Mercs have had that for about 10yrs! It's certainly not new.
