Apologies for misleading - the article references Volkswagon as making own chips not Mercedes. Mybad. I should have said I think there must be a good chance of Mercedes doing similar.Mercedes-Benz developing own operating system for 2024 launch

LOS ANGELES â Mercedes-Benz will roll out a new infotainment architecture called MB.OS that will replace the MBUX system in all of its vehicles, likely starting with the next-generation MMA compact car platform.
With its new MB.OS architecture, Mercedes-Benz is pairing with ultra-HD video developer Unity to bring gaming realism into the automotive world. It also is upgrading the âHey Mercedesâ personal assistantâs intelligence and interactivity into a 3D âStar Avatarâ that will be more akin to a âdigital butler,â said Magnus Ăstberg, Mercedes-Benz chief software officer.
Using the recently launched âHyperscreenâ digital display that spans from pillar to pillar (pictured above, but with the existing MBUX variation found in the Mercedes EQS), the MB.OS system will allow for 3D navigation that can zoom from satellite view down to 10 meters. It also will account for what time of day it is to ensure an accurate real-time display.
âItâs your environment right in front of you. Itâs as much reality as possible in a navigation system,â Ăstberg said. Navus will be the technology partner for the navigation engine.
Ăstberg, speaking at a media briefing here, said Mercedes has been using machine learning to examine the accuracy, problems, and frustrations with the existing MBUX infotainment system and its âHey Mercedesâ voice controls.
The next-generation interactivity will be able to curate a playlist, and provide eco-driving coaching and hints while the vehicle is in motion, said Benjamin Kuhn, senior manager UX/UI design for Mercedes-Benz R&D North America. The flow of conversation with âHey Mercedesâ will be âmore fluidâ and be able to understand close-enough driver commands, rather than require specific wording to activate a function. The system will learn and improve its interactivity with each specific owner. And global iterations in software permutations and upgrades will be beamed via over-the-air updates.
On the audio front, Mercedes will equip its vehicles with a Dolby Atmos spatial sound system, which provides a full 3D experience. âIt will be like sitting in the middle of your favorite band or orchestra,â Ăstberg said. The system will allow for a full selection of streaming-audio and -video content.
MBUX as found in the 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLB-Class
Why has Mercedes chosen to use an entry-luxury vehicle for a new software launch, rather than a flagship vehicle? It wouldnât be the first time, as Mercedes launched MBUX in the A-Class platform, including the GLB pictured above. According to UX/UI senior manager Kuhn, those entry-luxury buyers tend to be younger, and thus better at acclimating to a new system â and finding bugs.
Mercedes announced last year that it is hiring an additional 1,000 software engineers to bring MB.OS to life, as well as develop cloud computing and other R&D functions. Why so many new employees?
âWe want to own the user interface and APIs, the architecture and integration, because then we own the luxury experience,â Ăstberg said. âWe are owning this responsibility and not outsourcing. If we relinquish data, we relinquish data security.â
This is in contrast to various automakers, including General Motors and Volvo, which are turning to Google and its Android Automotive infotainment suite.
Of course, Mercedes needs software partners to develop apps. But in owning the UI, Mercedes will also own customerâs data. Ăstberg, who came to Mercedes from automotive supplier Aptiv last August, said Mercedes will observe strict data privacy. If a car changes ownership, Mercedes erases the carâs memory of the previous owner. The data and settings go with the personâs Mercedes Me account, which means certain attributes can be pre-programmed into the next Mercedes a loyal owner acquires.

Hopefully so.
No certainty of Akida obviously but you like to think that given Mercs public naming, positive statements and now moving to "owning" their OS that we might be in the frame.
We proved up and integrated into the CES car and that was apparently production ready so why not be able to migrate our tech across to the next infotainment system release.
Obviously could be current encumbent has enhanced their tech to meet Mercs scope, an unknown party snuck in the backdoor or Merc just developed their own but we'll see soon enough.
Be disappointing if we don't get a crack.

I can imagine that Daimler TSS might be busy implenting here for Mercedes. But that's only a guess.
They are a 100% subsidiary.

Older article from August 2021 onthe MB OS but mention of Bosch and Microsoft Azure.
"It is about the linking of all electronic requirements within a vehicle. At Mercedes, a comparison is made with the âcentral nervous systemâ in the human body, without which the complexity of the functions cannot be mastered, regardless of how good the individual functions are. So this means that Mercedes does indeed fall back on the expertise of other companies in the IT sector. For example, the central computer could come from suppliers such as ZF or Bosch, while Mercedes works with Microsoft Azure for cloud services."

This conference/workshop by NVIDIA has a session by Magnus Ostberg from MB on the MB OS. Need to register to view but it's free. No specific mention of Akida but well worth a watch. I suspect we're in there somewhere behind the scenes.Attendee Portal

Sadly I have no musical talent. Bit like my artistic talents generally. I actually think I'm a frustrated painter or sculptor and the only thing holding me back is lack of talent!Thanks for the share Violin, btw do you play one? From all accounts by the 1001eyes AKIDA is the fundamental brains of the operating system. đđđđđđđđđđđđđđđđđđđđđđđđđđđđđđđđđđđđđđ

Violin chosen when I needed to sign up to a wine discussion thread and had been doing a drawing of a violin for my granddaughter's letter book. Had it ever since. I shall find and post a photo of four sculptures by Australia's greatest sculptor Robert Klippel (well, three of his and one of mine). You can guess which one. Might take a while - and @zeeb0t may tell us to bugger off to The Lounge lol.

I'm guessing 3. I'd like 1 or 2 but think the company may have needed to announce something by now if it was already in commercial production and soon to roll out. I hope I'm wrong and it has been incorporated, maybe via NVIDIA, and it might be part of the revenue Sean says we'll book this year. Fingers crossed.

Well they might not need to announce if it's done through the likes of Renesas? Or at least that's my understanding.
