Big news! technology at Mercedes-Benz: the automaker has announced the arrival of its new proprietary operating system MB.OS, with the aim of distributing it in new vehicles over the years to come. A first “Lite” of the OS will arrive; on the E-Class already; this year, but for the complete system it will be necessary to complete the course. wait for 2024 or 2025.
MB.OS will rely on the update. a lot about cloud and connectivity; 5G; will support OTA updates, in order to allow the arrival of the functionalities; most popular software recent also on previous car models. The big news it is that Mercedes is developing the operating system in a completely proprietary way, unlike what generally happens in the current market. In fact the company “ it makes a little as a trailblazer to a radical change that will probably affect the whole world. most of the traditional builders in the coming years. Mercedes says that the foundations for this major paradigm shift were laid 4 years ago.
On an aesthetic level, the differences shouldn't be huge compared to what we've seen with the MBUX so far (Mercedes Benz User eXperience). In fact the term will continue as a term. to be usedand will represent the explicitly the user interface. According to what has been seen from the first images, MBUX will clearly evolve – – more modern and with more; multimedia options, such as YouTube or video calling – but won't overwhelm your experience. what we have seen so far.
Even if MB .OS will be, shall we say, a proprietary system, partnerships will still have an important role in its development. Two stand out most:
- Google. The two companies – are working to create a “next generation boating experience” under the Mercedes brand but will be based on the on Maps data and technology. Based on what we have seen so far, it seems that the interface will be; enriched by many more; information and features; that are typical on mobile (reviews, photos, opening hours and much more) but will have a more mobile look and feel. “integrated” with the premium and luxurious interface of the Mercedes system. In fact, one could speak of a licensing agreement, but it's a matter of course. a rough and perhaps even reductive approximation; but it helps to get a general idea of the potential implications. As already mentioned above, Maps will not be the same. the only Mountain View software service involved – there will be a 3rd party service. also YouTube, although we have less details for now. Says Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google:
Our partnership with Mercedes-Benz involves using advanced technologies from Google Maps Platform, Cloud and YouTube to help create new experiences for drivers. In addition to enabling Mercedes-Benz to design a custom navigation interface, we will provide our own capabilities for the navigation. of AI and data to accelerate sustainability efforts, advance autonomous driving, and create an improved customer experience.
- NVIDIA. The technology of the American giant will be; fundamental to the functionality; of autonomous driving. Mercedes is aiming for level 3, with the ultimate goal of being completely independent up to 130 km/h. The partnership aims to create a fully programmable and upgradeable autonomous driving system; at the base of everything there will be the NVIDIA Drive Orin SoC.
