Mercedes-Benz revealed it had signed a deal with Google for the development of a navigation tool for its new latest MB.OS operating system. The luxury automaker is aiming to equip its new vehicle models with “supercomputers” that will allow the company to have more control over technology in their vehicles.
As per Reuters, the navigation system will provide Mercedes-Benz car units with Google traffic information, including automatic rerouting. It will also allow drivers to watch YouTube on their unit’s entertainment system when it is parked or set in Level 3 autonomous driving mode.
It was said that Mercedes-Benz had already received certification for level 3 driving in both Germany and Nevada. At this level, drivers can take their hands off the wheel on some roads as long as they can easily resume control if needed.
The MB.OS operating system is set to debut in 2025 and it will be seen in model units on the modular architecture or MMA platform. This may be applied to compact cars in the future, and Mercedes Benz is also rolling this feature across its product line. There is also an agreement between Google and Mercedes-Benz regarding further partnership with Google Cloud data and artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities.
“We invite only the very best partners to enhance our operating system and to add to the Mercedes-Benz customer experience. Google has been a leader in maps and navigation for many years,” Mercedes-Benz Group AG’s chairman of the board of management, Ola Källenius, said in a press release.
He added, “With our strategic partnership, we are excited to create unique services and elevate the level of convenience for our customers. It will be deeply integrated within our signature Mercedes-Benz user interface and fully connected to relevant vehicle functions like the state of charge.”
Google and Alphabet’s chief executive officer, Sundar Pichai, also said, “Our partnership with Mercedes-Benz brings advanced technologies from Google Maps Platform, Cloud, and YouTube to help create new experiences for drivers. We will provide our AI and data capabilities to accelerate their sustainability efforts, advance autonomous driving, and create an enhanced customer experience.”
