😭 Y&R in Mourning: Victor Dies at 56! Very Sad News for Young and the Restless Fans !!

For those who have ever felt the urge to whip off a TikTok video from inside their car, Mercedes-Benz owners might be able to do that from inside the 2024 E-class without even having get out their phones.

That means dance moves could be possible using both hands, as long as the car is parked, according to Mercedes.

More in keeping with the brand image, Mercedes drivers will also be able to participate in important business-related video meetings without having to open a laptop. They can also sling Angry Birds when things get boring.

Software in the car enables the installation of apps like Zoom, Webex and TikTok without going through an in-car intermediary like Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, although those options will still, presumably, be available. The small camera built into the top of the dashboard facing the occupants can also be used for general selfie-taking. Video conferencing and photography will only be possible when the car is stopped, however, according to Mercedes-Benz.

For now, the TikTok app can only be used to view videos, not make them, but “Mercedes-Benz is working to make this possible for the customer,” Mercedes spokesman Andrew Brudnicki wrote in an email to CNN Business.

A web browser is also available for download. While some car models already on the market, including Teslas and some other Mercedes models, have built-in web browsers, this one will be available to the person in the front passenger seat has their own dedicated touchscreen as an available option.

Tesla also recently announced that their vehicles will have Zoom conferencing capabilities.

Like some of Mercedes’ electric models, such as the new EQE, the E-class will be available with a fully glass dashboard that includes a passenger touchscreen as well as technologies that Mercedes says is designed to reduce potential driver distractions. A camera will detect how often and for how long the driver is glancing in the direction of the screen, and will dim the passenger screen if needed. Meanwhile, passengers will be able to watch videos, stream music and browse the Internet while the car is underway.

The new E-class will also include artificial intelligence capabilities that will allow the car “learn” the driver’s preferences for things like climate control, interior lighting colors and sunshade deployment during different times of the day and weather conditions, according to Mercedes. Owners can also set up their own “routines” for specific situations, such as changing the interior lighting to a warm color, opening the sunshade in the roof and turning on the heated seats whenever the temperature is below a set limit. It’s a more complex set of responses than the typical automatic thermostat setting many cars have.

These features will be part of the new 2024 Mercedes-Benz E-class, a redesigned model that will be fully revealed later this year. The E-class is Mercedes’ mid-level model, larger than the entry-level A-class and the more compact C-class, but smaller and less expensive than the ultra-luxurious S-Class.

Mercedes has not yet announced pricing for this new version, but prices for the 2023 E-class start at around $56,000.

The new function has been added to the Driving Assistance Plus Package Mercedes-Benz is offering across 33 European countries and will come as standard on models equipped with this system. From September, the 200,000 eligible vehicles already in customers’ hands will get an update through the car’s in-built mobile phone connection. The update can be initiated through the MBUX infotainment system or the Mercedes me smartphone application.

Mercedes-Benz’s ALC function will work on C-Class, E-Class, S-Class, GLC, CLE, EQE, EQS, EQE SUV, and EQS SUV models. All current E-Class, CLE Coupe, and CLE Cabriolet models can be updated seamlessly, while C-Class, S-Class, GLC, EQE, and EQS models built from January 2023 are eligible.

Automatic lane change systems are slowly becoming more common across the industry. The German brand already offers the system in North America and China. It works when the Active Distance Assist Distronic cruise control function is enabled and uses radar sensors and cameras to monitor the car’s surroundings.

When it’s safe, the system will overtake slower-moving cars on the motorway and then automatically return to its original lane. The function works at speeds between 80 km/h (50 mph) and 140 km/h (87 mph) in Europe, and motorways must have at least two separate lanes for it to work. Mercedes-Benz describes this as a Level 2 system, meaning the driver remains responsible at all times.

“With the Automatic Lane Change function, Mercedes-Benz is once again demonstrating its innovative strength in the development of new driving assistance systems,” Mercedes-Benz member of the board of management Markus Schäfer said. “We simultaneously developed the Automatic Lane Change function, or ALC for short, in North America, Europe and China for our local customers. With ALC, Mercedes-Benz is offering a driving function as an over-the-air update for the first time.”

Mercedes-Benz India has announced its plans to bring 12 new offerings, including three electric vehicles (EVs), to the market in 2024. The German carmaker achieved record-braking sales in the last year at 17,408 units and witnessed highest-ever production in its history. In fact, this year marks 30 years in the country and with this, it has laid out plans not only to launch new products but also to widen its footprint and invest in manufacturing operations, new start-ups, and digitisation of the production process.

The luxury automaker has promised at least a dozen cars for the Indian market in 2024. According to Mercedes-Benz, these new offerings will comprise 50 per cent of new launches in the TEV (top-end vehicle) segment. Whereas, there will be three new all-electric cars coming to the country this year. We expect the brand to introduce updated GLA, refreshed Maybach GLS 600, CLE, new E-Class, GLB facelift, EQB facelifts, EQE saloon, EQS SUV, along with a handful of high-performance AMG versions should be in the pipeline.

Apart from that, Mercedes-Benz will invest Rs 200 crore in 2024 to manufacturing operations, new start-ups, and digitisation of the production process. Further, the brand aims to open over 20 workshops and expand its footprint to new cities – Amritsar, Jammu, Agra, Kanpur, Udaipur, Ranchi, Patna, Valsad, Kottayam, and Kannur.
