Mercedes models will offer more and even larger screens in their interiors over the coming years.
Chief technology officer Markus Schäfer told Autocar at CES in Las Vegas that Mercedes is still “on a trajectory where you see even more screens in the car”, at a time when some competitors – most notably Volkswagen – are scaling back on ever-larger touchscreens in favour of a return to an increase in the provision of physical buttons.
Mercedes has introduced the so-called Hyperscreen into some of its electric models, including the Mercedes EQS, and this seamless, pillar-topillar screen is what Schäfer sees as being rolled out across more cars in the future.
“Mercedes will go to seamless screens from left to right. That’s the next evolution,” he said.
