MBition

Today is „Name Your Car Day”! This unofficial but very serious holiday invites people to give their cars a name, turning them into companions with personality and making them more than just a means of transport. 🚗✨ At #MBition, we are dedicated to making your driving experience more personalised. With advanced solutions like MBUX and the Mercedes-Benz App, your vehicle can be customised to match your personal preferences perfectly. From seat positions and the colours of the ambient lighting to your preferred climate control settings, our technologies ensure your Mercedes-Benz truly feels like yours. Just like naming your car, these features make your vehicle a travel buddy that adapts to your lifestyle – almost like it knows you. 😉 Does your car have a name, or would you give your car a name? Let us know in the comments! 💬⬇️ #NameYourCarDay #Personalisation #MBUX #MercedesBenzApp

We’re still excited about the latest updates in the #MBUX infotainment system: The addition of the #Handelsblatt and #Sportschau apps is a great example of how our flexible software architecture adapts to meet the needs and regional preferences of Mercedes-Benz customers. At #MBition, we are continuously working on improving the MBUX system alongside our world-wide RD colleagues. 💫 Our joint focus on innovative software solutions allows us to integrate new features quickly and seamlessly, ensuring that drivers have access to regionally relevant content that keeps the infotainment experience fresh and engaging. We can’t wait to see what applications will be added in the future to make driving even more enjoyable and informative! 🚀 Which apps could you not imagine living without in your Mercedes-Benz? 💬⬇️ ________________ The Handelsblatt app is available now across the entire DACH region (Germany, Austria and Switzerland). The Sportschau app is available in Germany. Both apps work with vehicles equipped with third-generation MBUX.

What do you think about the new name and design? 📱 We love it and are excited about your opinions!

We are proud to be part of such a progressive company like Mercedes-Benz AG, which consistently sets the standard for #innovation in the automotive industry: Mercedes-Benz has once again proven its commitment to pushing boundaries of technology by becoming the first international carmaker to obtain the Level 4 automated driving test license for urban roads and highways in Beijing, China. 👏 🎉 This outstanding achievement demonstrates their dedication to shaping the future of mobility, setting a new benchmark for the industry. With over 40 driver assistance systems, including the industry’s first Level 3 system in the market, Mercedes-Benz keeps making major steps in autonomous driving. The Level 4 milestone focuses on: • Wide range of sensors such as LiDAR and milimetre-wave radar • Enhanced safety measures due to redundant systems • Real-world maneuvers such as parking and unprotected left turns • Risk management strategies to handle extreme situations effectively At #MBition, we’re not just proud of this groundbreaking accomplishment today – Mercedes-Benz’s continuous drive to lead and innovate inspires us every day. 💡

On July 27th, we celebrated pride and diversity together with more than a quarter million people at the 46th Christopher Street Day in Berlin! Under the motto „Together we take a stand! Democracy needs Diversity!“, many MBitioneers joined the Berlin Pride demonstration, either on the Mercedes-Benz Pride Truck or together in one of over a hundred walking groups. The participants stood up for more democracy, more queer visibility, and more cohesion within the queer community. At MBition, we strongly believe that it is not only democracy that needs diversity, but innovation and success also require it. We stand with our LGBTQIA friends and colleagues and were even prouder to once again be able to show our unwavering support for the queer community. #CSD2024 #BerlinPride #MercedesBenzPride #MBitionPride

At #MBition, our commitment to supporting our LGBTQIA colleagues is unshakeable, and #PrideMonth offers a special opportunity to highlight the significance of diversity and inclusion.   Our MBitioneers come from various backgrounds, cultures, and identities, each contributing unique perspectives and talents to our company. We are dedicated to maintaining a culture of acceptance and understanding where everyone can learn and grow without discrimination.   Throughout this June, we want to honor the struggles and achievements of the LGBTQIA community. We acknowledge that the journey towards equality is ongoing, and we strive to make MBition a safe space to encourage a positive change.   But our commitment extends beyond just Pride Month! We're excited to participate in the Christopher Street Day (CSD) celebrations in July together with our Mercedes-Benz Colleagues. In addition, we're fostering an even more inclusive work environment through a LGBTQ Awareness session for our MBitioneers. These initiatives are some examples for our dedication to acceptance and equality. Join us in celebrating love, acceptance, and diversity, not just during Pride Month, but always. Together, we can build a future where everyone is free to live and love authentically every day of every month of the year. Let's ride with pride into a future of equality and unity!

Recently, we hosted “AI@MBition: Leveraging Latest AI Advancements”, an engaging event providing the opportunity to dive into the world of artificial intelligence and its practical applications. We brought together over 200 MBitioneers, both onsite and remote, had numerous fruitful discussions, and developed ideas for further enhancing our internal workflows. One of the highlights of the event was the enlightening keynote speech by Dr. Patrick Ebel from the University of Leipzig, with his presentation about the transformative power of AI in user interface design, he gave valuable insights and perspectives. Several examples of AI in software-products were also discussed: We explored how parking analytics allow effective tracking of parking spaces and occupancies around our office, and showcased the capabilities of the Mercedes-Benz Voice Assistant. There was significant interest in specific topics aimed at supercharging work life, such as: - Defect Detective, an AI system that identifies potential duplicate bug tickets and therefore helps maintaining a clean ticket backlog -  Knowledge Assistant, an AI-driven chatbot that serves as a natural language interface to internal knowledge sources by simplifying information discovery and replacing tedious searches with interactive queries -  Review Ranger, an AI system integrated into Git repositories that provides automated code reviews and enhances code quality by offering configurable focus, valuable comments, and suggestions After this productive and exciting day of discussing these exciting new technology developments, we’re now looking even more forward to leveraging AI technologies to further increase our workflows!

Two weeks ago, we joined our Mercedes-Benz colleagues for the Berlin Company Run once again! This year, 113 MBitioneers tied their running shoes for the 5.5km run, starting at the Brandenburg Gate and passing by some of Berlin’s landmarks such as the Siegessäule and Großer Tiergarten. With an impressive total of 560 participants, Mercedes-Benz was the second largest team of the evening. Just like last time, all MBition and Mercedes-Benz colleagues proudly wore t-shirts featuring the rainbow flag, symbolizing our dedication to encourage an inclusive workplace where everyone is heard and valued. Congratulations to every participant on your achievement, and a big thank you to SG Stern Deutschland e.V. for the seamless organisation! We’re already looking forward to taking part in 2025 again!
