These camper vans envision a world where owners can make use of voice controls to perform an array of actions. By simply uttering the magic words "Hey Mercedes," users can pop the roof open, play music or control the lighting.

Elsewhere, the Concept Marco Polo comes with eco-friendly features such as a 400-watt solar array. It even offers highly intelligent design features such as the inclusion of a high-tech glass-darkening module that makes it possible for you to create a dark environment for bedtime without needing to put up or draw any curtains.

Combining smart technology and design, the Concept Marco Polo well and truly envisions the wonders of next-generation camper vans.
