MERCEDES-BENZ has just given big screen TV lovers a big 56-inch-wide reason to buy the all new Mercedes EQC electric vehicle (EV). 

This is the all new MBUX Hyperscreen and it is one of the major highlights of the Mercedes-Benz EQS EV.

This new Mercedes Hyperscreen represents the emotional intelligence of the all-electric flagship model: the large, curved screen panel extends almost the entire width of the interior, from the left to the right A-pillar. 

In addition to its sheer size, the high-quality, detailed design aesthetic guarantees a “wow” effect.

This high-tech aesthetic represents the emotionally appealing dimension of the MBUX Hyperscreen.

Furthermore, artificial intelligence (AI) and learn-capable software, enables the control and display concept to adapt to its user and make personalized suggestions for a variety of functions from infotainment, to comfort and even vehicle functions.

With the new zero-layer feature, the user no longer has to scroll through sub-menus or give voice commands, as the most important applications are always available in a situational and contextual way at the top of the driver’s field of vision. 

This alleviates the driver from needing to make numerous operating steps.

The MBUX Hyperscreen not only benefits the driver as it is also an attentive assistant for the front passenger. 

The front passenger is also given their own display and operating area, to help make road trips more enjoyable and entertaining. The passenger display allows for individualized content with up to seven profiles. 

However, the entertainment functions of the passenger's display are only available during the journey within the framework of the country-specific legal regulations.

If the passenger seat is not occupied the screen becomes a digital decorative part.

MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience) has radically simplified the operation of Mercedes-Benz vehicles. 

It was first unveiled in 2018 in the Mercedes A-Class, and there are now more than 1.8 million Mercedes-Benz passenger cars on the road equipped with MBUX worldwide. 

You can also find MBUX in the commercial Van division. 

A few months ago, the second generation of this learn-capable system debuted in the new Mercedes S-Class, and Mercedes is now taking another big step forward in the form of the new EQS and the optionally available MBUX Hyperscreen.

The thing is this. If screens bet bigger, then distraction when driving gets higher and this is not a good idea in our books. But we are older and we are not drawn to having this large screen in our car. 

This is why Mercedes has designed this Hyperscreen. 

It is for the next generation of car buyers, our kids, nephews and nieces who want screens and more and they want autonomous driving, which is coming soon with Mercedes-Benz electric vehicles and so it starts with introducing a screen so big that you are drawn to the technology inside the cabin and less interested with the art of driving and enjoying the road ahead with your mind, hands and feet working together. – The Vibes, January 11, 2021
