The German company will launch its operating system by the mid of this decade.
German luxury and commercial vehicle brand, Mercedes Benz, has announced its software partnership with Google to offer “super-computer-like” navigation and other services in every car, Reuters.
Mercedes’ plans for the future
Mercedes’ partnership with Google follows the route that conventional carmakers such as Ford, Renault, Nissan, and General Motors have taken to add Google’s suite of services to their cars. This partnership allows users to tap into Google’s Maps, Assitant, and other services and use traffic information to determine the best routes to reach their destination.
Further, the company is revamping how the software side of its cars works. Moving away from attempts to integrate different software packages into the car, Mercedes will now own the operating system dubbed MB.OS and ask partners to build their services to work with the OS.
