The new MBUX AI Co-Pilot from Mercedes-Benz allows the car to understand conversational, multi-intent commands, marking a significant leap from simple voice controls to a truly intelligent and responsive automotive assistant.
For years, the in-car voice assistant has been a clumsy affair, requiring specific phrases like "Set temperature to 70 degrees" or "Navigate to 123 Main Street." However, with its latest MBUX infotainment update, Mercedes-Benz has taken a significant leap forward.
The new "AI Co-Pilot" feature allows drivers to give conversational commands, such as
"Hey Mercedes, I'm cold and it's getting dark,"and have the car automatically adjust the climate, turn on the headlights, and close the sunshade.
This feature is more than just a party trick, it's a significant advancement in automotive technology.
