Mercedes-Benz has announced it will unveil a new infotainment system at the next year’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, which it calls the Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX). The company says the system will be fitted as standard equipment in its next-generation compact cars from as early as 2018.
The upcoming A-Class is likely the model being referred to in this instance, although Mercedes-Benz has yet to confirm anything of the sort. Last month, the carmaker provided an early preview of the model’s interior, revealing a pair of display screens and a new multi-function touchpad, among other things.
The company only states in its release that the MBUX will feature “innovative technology based on artificial intelligence and an intuitive operating system.” With AI-based infotainment, improved human-machine interface is possible, allowing systems to better interact with users via deep learning.
Aside from the MBUX, Mercedes-Benz will also display the Concept EQ A, smart vision EQ fortwo and the Mercedes-AMG Project One show cars in Las Vegas.

Thats a verrryyy long ipad there.
Mercedes-Benz premium compact cars, Yuppies’ holy grail of personal success.
Hmmm means their higher tier vehicles will have a separate system? Wow what a way to segregate low and high end customers
I struggle to see how you arrived at that assumption. The MBUX sounds very much an advanced system and it debuts at the compact car range at the bottom of the Merc hierarchy. It looks very obvious the MBUX will be in the whole range of Merc’s passenger car lineup moving forward.
