You might not be thinking of cars when you think of CES, but they’re there. And in the case of Mercedes-Benz, they’ve got one hell of a dash console for you.
The new MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience) is far more advanced than its predecessors. Because aide from being a massive 56″ OLED screen, its got the power to back it all up.
- Eight CPU cores
- 24GB RAM
- 46.6GB per second of RAM memory bandwidth
- 12 haptic feedback actuators
It has the ability to provide separate displays for both driver and passenger. They did away with submenus; by analyzing data, they realized that one of the things everybody uses is navigation, so they just placed it in the center so you don’t have to fiddle with anything. It even uses artificial intelligence to predict what you want next, and provide those predictions as options based on your usual driving routine. It can even learn the locations on your route of driveways and speed bumps, and adjust the suspension to make taking those obstacles easier.
MBUX Hyperscreen will be available in the upcoming Mercedes-Benz EQS sedan, Mercedes-Benz’s flagship electric car. The sedan should enter production in Germany within the next few months, with an SUV version scheduled to start production in Alabama in 2022. Mercede pans to launch 10 new vehicles in their EQ sub-brand by 2025. That said, the MBUX screen will likely be reserved for the higher-end vehicles.
