The recently revealed Mercedes-Benz Vision Golf Cart will not only include an iPad docking station but also a "fore" button to alert other golf cars they're within the danger zone.

The golf cart's features allow players to order drinks and food, and also monitor weather conditions with a built in radar.

"I was very inspired by the idea of designing a golf cart, giving it a new shape and new sorts of meaning," said Gorden Wagener, Daimler AG vice president of design, in a press statement to Edmunds.

The golf cart, which was unveiled during the Open Championship, was created with some assistance from golf fans all-around the world.

Bluetooth capability is also standard to allow "telephone calls to be made through the loudspeaker system" while the cart is moving according to Wagener.

The electric golf cart includes a head-up display that shows the course layout, and the current status of the game. The vehicle is road legal thanks to Mercedes-Benz including turn indicators and LED headlights.

The iPad connection features a digital scorecard meaning golfers no longer have to carry around pencils and paper during their games.

"One wish that came up time and time again, irrespective of country or language, was the possibility of being able to use a telephone," said Daimler to Edmunds.

Like most golf carts, the Mercedes-Benz version includes an air-condition system and an air scarf neck-level heating system.
