The new E-Class is here –
and it is more intelligent than ever, reaching a new dimension of personalisation and interaction.
As promised, let me take you through one or two highlights. For instance, our Hey Mercedes voice assistant in the new E-Class is even more powerful. With the new "Just Talk" function, the intelligent voice control can now also be activated without a keyword. To do this, the customer must be alone in the vehicle. When activated, a red microphone symbol appears in the display, meaning the vehicle is waiting for voice commands.
I also love the new MBUX Superscreen. The optional MBUX multimedia system Premium Plus includes the passenger display, which means the large glass surface extends from the A-pillar on the passenger side to the central display. For the first time in this class, at the touch of a button, the optional 3D driver display allows spatial scene perception with a real depth effect.
The system uses autostereoscopy for the 3D effect: here, the LCD display combines a special pixel structure with a controllable LCD aperture grill. The result is that the left and right eye see different pixels of the LCD, creating the illusion of depth. The effect is impressive.
