At CES 2019, NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang and Mercedes-Benz Executive Vice President Sajjad Khan detailed plans to develop an AI architecture for the next generation of vehicles.
The Mercedes-Benz EQC crossover kickstarts the automaker’s new line of electric vehicles. At the center of the zero-emissions luxury vehicle is the AI-rich MBUX infotainment system, powered by NVIDIA.
The global automaker and supplier will use NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Pegasus™ to enable deep learning, sensor fusion, image recognition, and more in their upcoming robotaxi pilot.
The new A-Class is the first model to offer the Mercedes-Benz User Experience — or “MBUX” — infotainment system. MBUX aims to reinvent the cockpit experience using rich, real-time 3D graphics and artificial intelligence powered by NVIDIA.
The MBUX announcement highlights the importance of AI to next-generation infotainment systems inside the car, even as automakers are racing put AI to work to help vehicles navigate the world around them autonomously.
