MBUX Equipped With Artificial Intelligence?

Yes, the new system is equipped with artificial intelligence, so the system learns your habits and adapts better and better over time.

What Is Artificial Intelligence?

Artificial intelligence, an umbrella term for applications in which machines perform human-like intelligence feats. Such as machine learning or machine learning, the processing of natural language (natural language processing which is used in Amazon's Alexa voice service, among other things), which makes a very positive contribution to voice control and deep learning. The basic idea is to use machines to approximate important functions of the human brain - learning, judgment and problem solving.

Of course there is more to report about it, but in order to continue with the MBUX, let's take a closer look at the voice control next, which brings many improvements and innovations with it and thus makes everyday life noticeably easier.

What Are The Advantages Of Artificial Intelligence?

To keep us short, compared to humans, robots are able to work much more accurately and precisely. This is due to their fine motor skills, which they have and are not nervous or trembling, for example. In addition, they have a large number of moving parts that can perform tasks with the highest accuracy.
Are we already in contact with artificial intelligence? Well, if you like to watch a film on Netflix or Amazon from time to time and you get suggestions, or you surf the web with your smartphone and get product or video suggestions, then you've already had contact and know what artificial intelligence is.

What Good Does That Do For Me In The Car?

For example, the display of the phone number that is always called at the same time. The new and improved Mercedes me connect services, in turn, optimize navigation – through so-called Car-to-X communication, in which vehicles and the traffic infrastructure communicate with each other and mutually exchange relevant information on the traffic situation. But it gets even better: the MBUX multimedia system also includes a language assistant, which we will now go into more detail about in the next paragraph.

State-Of-The-Art Voice Control

Voice control has never been so easy and intuitive as in the new infotainment system from Mercedes-Benz. Just talk to your language assistant in your usual colloquial language and give him commands.

Activate the assistant with a simple "Hey Mercedes" or press the MBUX button on the steering wheel.

After that you can issue commands like:

"I'm cold. Turn on the heating.”

Do you answer queries "How many degrees should I set the heating to"? With your desired temperature x

Your desired command will then be executed.

What Is Augmented Reality Navigation?

As is so often the case, we find ourselves in complex traffic situations in which we find it difficult to take the right exit, entrance or intersection. Augmented Reality Navigation ensures a significant improvement in road safety through the information displayed in 3D on the windscreen (e.g. blue directional arrows), which are projected directly onto the road, so to speak, and missing the right exit is almost unthinkable. As if that weren't enough, traffic signs or warnings are also displayed for maximum safety and minimum traffic distraction. Get to your destination safely and stress-free.

How Does Augmented Reality Navigation Work?

If you look at your Mercedes from the front, the side (mirror), or the rear, you will definitely notice the camera, sensors hidden behind black covers and a video-based AR system.

The AR systems use the image of the vehicle's forward-facing camera and place an additional layer of information on top of it, which is then known as augmented reality navigation.
