If you ask experts about the infotainment pioneer among car manufacturers, Mercedes-Benz is mentioned most often. The Swabians set an almost crazy pace and let it rip. After the MBUX operating system introduced in 2018, version 2 came with the new S-Class in 2020, and now there is another change. Under the surface of the E-Class’s MBUX, MB.OS launches, a new software architecture that relies on partners such as Nvidia, lidar manufacturer Luminar and Google. Mercedes-Benz wants to invest two billion euros annually in the substructure, which is intended to decouple software and hardware. Google is getting more involved in cars again. The map service Here, which Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi acquired from Nokia in 2015, no longer plays a role. Now it’s not just Google’s YouTube that comes with it in the E-Class, but many other apps and a number of games are also included.
