New Generation MBUX

A new generation MBUX is coming to the S class. It will trickle down to the other MB products quickly.

*edit* It does over the air updates, too.

Welcome news. The touch screen will make a huge difference. The touchpads are frustrating to use.

i'm starting to look at my next E class (for august 2021)

going through the options I see something that's called "interior assistance", to control the system with hand movements.

and also "augmented reality", where the camera & gps are used in combination to give voyage instructions

Does anyone have this and can give their opinion on it ?

I have tried the augmented reality already, basically navi shows the actual live picture/video of the road and virtual arrows. The camera only comes on when there are actual instructions, not at all times. I think it helps out when are not exactly sure where and when you should make a turn.

Interior assistance have not tried, but I would think its something you can live without? I think its for like opening the sunroof or turning on the lights without actually touching a button, but rather waving at it...

interior assistance seems a silly feature especially with screen now being touch (right?)

i would get the augmented reality feature just for fun as it's only a 500 eur option.
however, it turns out here in france i'd have to get a pack of 7200 eur, with features i don't want.. so i'll be giving it a miss

I had a BMW with a similar feature. The problem was inadvertent commands when using ones hands for other reasons. For me adjusting the mirror resulted in raising the radio volume. It is a useless 'feature".
