Mercedes-Benz partners with Google to develop a better entertainment and navigation system in its new E-Class.
The German Stuttgart-based brand announced a partnership with Google yesterday. An enhancement of its automotive navigation systems is planned and will be introduced in the new Mercedes E-Class.
The star brand will have access to points of interest on the map through Google Places. Moreover, it will have real-time traffic information and GPS route calculations. With this Google partnership, Mercedes-Benz aims to expand the entertainment offerings in its vehicles.
The brand will have the ability to access geolocation information from the search engine, integrated through the MB.OS (Mercedes-Benz Operating System). In addition to being developed by Mercedes-Benz, MB.OS will be developed in partnership with select “handpicked” brands.
What’s new in the future Mercedes E-Class?
As part of enhancing entertainment features in future Mercedes E-Class models, the following software will be included in vehicles with MB.OS:
- The “TikTok” entertainment platform;
- The game “Angry Birds”;
- The work software “Webex”;
- The video conferencing app “Zoom”;
- The video platform “YouTube”.
It should be noted that the technology will truly serve the vehicle’s passenger, making the in-car experience a fun and connected space, perfectly aligned with 21st-century technologies.
Developers of in-car applications have still thought of the driver, as a camera inside the cabin reduces screen brightness. The Mercedes EQS had a similar vigilance system, detecting whether the driver’s eyes are closing or looking at passenger screens…
New wellness functions will be offered to owners of the E-Class vehicles. “Soothing sounds, invigorating massages, refreshing lights” are part of the “Energizing Comfort” and “Energizing Coach” programs.
Two new functions are thus available: motion sickness prevention and stress reduction through breathing exercises (medium term).
Will these features be available on future Mercedes E hybrids?
The already available Mercedes E-Class models come in plug-in hybrid versions with petrol and diesel options. These should continue into the new generation, with expected improvements in electric range. Other yet-unknown innovations will be revealed with the launch of the new E-Class, but this partnership with Google already signals bright future prospects for the star brand. While the presentation date remains unknown, the first models are expected in summer 2023 in Europe.
