Mercedes-Benz wants to put “super computers” in every vehicle with automated sensors

Mercedes-Benz has unveiled a new partnership with Google which will see super computers built into every vehicle with automated driving sensors.

Mercedes says the collaboration will allow it to offer traffic information and automatic rerouting in its cars.

It’s all in a bid to keep up with Tesla, the pioneer when it comes to software-powered features.

These allow for vehicle performance, battery range and self-driving capabilities to be updated from a distance.

Drivers will also be able to watch YouTube on the cars’ entertainment system when the car is parked or in autonomous driving mode.

All new vehicles will also have so-called hyperscreens extending across the cockpit.

The CEO of Mercedes-Benz says the licensing agreement with Google is a ‘win-win’ for both parties. #trending #featured
