Mercedes-Benz is fast-tracking the future of the robotaxi ecosystem & collaborating with industry-leading partners.

Mercedes is moving towards an advanced ecosystem of Robotaxi by partnering with key players in the industry. The company has also integrated this system with its recently launched S-Class and will be also integrating this into its next upcoming electric cars. 

Mercedes calls it ‘fail-safe operation’ as it is equipped with the steering, braking, compute and power supply and its MB.OS infotainment screen. It serves as a perfect foundation for driverless taxi service operated in America, Asia, Europe and Middle east. 

For creating an open ecosystem, there are huge complexities involved and that’s why Mercedes-Benz integrates SAE-Level 4 development which will be implemented in various projects around the world with various key leaders, by utilizing the potential of its proprietary operating system MB.OS. 

The Member of the Board of Management of Mercedes-Benz Group AG. Chief Technology Officer, Jorz Burzer, expressed his views on this and said, “Mercedes-Benz is a pioneer in safe autonomous driving technology. Our next vision is to implement a robo-taxi experience in the new S-Class. 

To fulfil this goal, we have key industry players helping us achieve this vision. Our strategic partnerships mark the beginning of a new journey into the robo-taxi market with the S-Class and further upcoming electric cars.”
