Mercedes-Benz and Will.I.Am have collaborated to create MBUX Sound Drive, a technology that turns vehicle inputs and in-car signals into musical expressions, effectively turning the car into a "virtual musical instrument." The system reacts to driving behavior and interprets it into tunes and ditties, with the aim of enhancing the driving experience. It will be available on all Mercedes-Benz and Mercedes-AMG vehicles with the second-generation MBUX system in the second half of 2024, and will also be available to existing drivers with compatible infotainment via an over-the-air update.
