All for an annual fee of $1,200 (100 dollars per month) even if it seems that, in the future, a "permanent" at a price not yet communicated.
And for European customers? Apparently there is no good news at the moment.

PAID EXTRAS 
All that remains is to wait to understand more about it. and see if, in the future, Mercedes will be able to; to overcome those obstacles which today do not allow it to offer this paid option to its European customers.
More and more; Manufacturers intend to take advantage of OTA updates to introduce new paid features on cars. Mercedes, like many other automakers, hopes to build a steady stream of revenue from subscriptions and options that can be delivered through OTA updates, including future self-driving services, as they become available.
What seems evident is; that in the coming years there will be; a growing offer of extra services inside the cars that can be enabled for a fee. We will find digital services, advanced driving assistance functions and the unlocking of some functionalities. of the cars already; present at the hardware level but not active (think of the case of BMW we talked about in the past).
