New Mercedes Infotainment System Coming Soon

MBUX is dying. Really, we're quite bummed out. MBUX, Mercedes' infotainment system found in new vehicles like theMercedes-Benz EQSandEQEsedans, is pretty much as good as modern infotainment got. The whole thing was controlled either via touchscreen or touch-sensitive pads on the wheel. It was a safe, effective way to manage your car's computer functions without getting distracted.

Frankly, it'll be hard to improve on. Now, the brand is seeking to do just that with what it calls MB.OS. Already, one of the biggest weak points found in MBUX has been addressed. The "Hey Mercedes" function is being re-worked to provide better voice assistance to users. Mercedes also says that conversation with the system will feel more "fluid."

The German marque says MB.OS is going to "offer a high-performance, long-lasting and energy-efficient architecture that brings a raft of customer benefits." The brand wants MB.OS to be so good at what it does that it saves customers huge amounts of time by automating various tasks, using AI to learn more about the person using it. It all sounds a little Orwellian, we know, but the intentions are pure.

With the new system, Mercedes'wild-looking Hyperscreenwill be able to show 3D navigation, which can be used from satellite view all the way down to as close as 30 feet. It'll also take into account the time of day to ensure the image you see is accurate. Reportedly, there will also be a 3D "Star Avatar" that'll fill the role of the current "Hey Mercedes"software found on MBUX.
