Mercedes-Benz delivers integration of the Google Assistant

Mercedes-Benz is one of the first Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to combine the Google Assistant on Google Home with their vehicles, and signals another step forward in the company's connectivity strategy – seamless and intelligent interaction between the customer's Internet of Things (IoT)/Wearables devices and their Mercedes-Benz Cars. "In the last decade, we've seen a range of benefits when smart technology is combined with transportation," said Sajjad Khan, vice president of digital vehicle & mobility at Daimler. "This newest integration shows just how intelligent the car of the future will be, and we plan to roll out more applications as the year progresses that will make daily life even more accessible and convenient." Arriving in the first months of 2017 Mercedes-Benz customers will be able in specific markets to communicate with their cars through their Google Home. Streamlining the customer's digital lifestyle by connecting the car to the IoT has been a rapid evolution during the last few years.
