At the Mercedes-Benz TecDay 2011 event in Germany, Mercedes revealed its concept infotainment system, @yourCommand, a voice- and gesture-controlled cloud-based system in the F 125 research vehicle. While that system is a few years away from being integrated into production vehicles, Mercedes also announced that in a few months it will begin selling a new infotainment option developed specifically for the iPhone.
Mercedes didn’t provide much detail about the future infotainment system except to say that it will leverage the iPhone’s processing power “to create a revolutionary user interface with fluent transitions and animation.” The car maker also said that various iPhone information and functionality will be displayed on the in-dash display, and will be accessed using the COMAND controller. via cnet
