MB.OS: The Mercedes-Benz Operating System

Discover the next generation of in-vehicle intelligence with the Mercedes-Benz Operating System, known as MB.OS. This software platform integrates infotainment, advanced driver assistance, comfort systems, and driving and charging into one cohesive experience. If you are shopping for a new Mercedes-Benz in Southern California, MB.OS is designed to think, learn, and evolve with you.

What is MB.OS?

MB.OS is the in-house developed operating system from Mercedes-Benz that serves as the vehicle’s software “brain.” It connects powerful onboard computing with the Mercedes-Benz Intelligent Cloud to deliver features that are deeply integrated across the vehicle. Its architecture helps decouple hardware and software, which makes development faster and enables frequent improvements over time.

  • Four core domains: infotainment, advanced driver assistance systems, body and comfort, driving and charging
  • AI-enhanced experiences that can adapt and improve
  • Chip-to-cloud design for deep control of sensors and actuators
  • Seamless integration of select third-party content while preserving the familiar Mercedes-Benz interface
