Mercedes-Benz is taking significant strides in the integration of artificial intelligence (AI). As part of their desire to innovate, Mercedes-Benz is expanding the use of AI by incorporating it into the voice control system of their vehicles. This exciting development utilizes the integration of ChatGPT, a powerful language model, into the MBUX Voice Assistant 's Hey Mercedes feature. JOIN THE BETA By integrating ChatGPT into Hey Mercedes, the voice control functionality becomes even more intuitive and enhances the overall driving experience significantly. With this advancement, Mercedes-Benz aims to provide customers with a seamless and natural interaction with their vehicles. This new feature is set to launch on June 16, 2023, as an optional beta program in the United States, available for over 900,000 vehicles equipped with the MBUX infotainment system. Participants eligible for the beta program can join through the Mercedes me app or directly from their vehicle using the voice command "Hey Mercedes, I want to join the beta program." This program will be rolled out over the air, utilizing the Azure OpenAI Service, which leverages the robust capabilities of Microsoft's cloud and AI platform. WHY CHATGPT? The integration of ChatGPT with Hey Mercedes builds upon the existing success of the MBUX Voice Assistant. Mercedes-Benz's voice control system is widely recognized for its incredibly intuitive operation and extensive command portfolio. Users can currently enjoy useful features such as sports and weather updates, location information, and smart home control, and much more. ChatGPT complements the intuitive voice control by expanding the range of topics and improving natural language understanding. Unlike conventional voice assistants that are limited to predetermined tasks and responses, ChatGPT 's advanced language model enables more dynamic and interactive conversations. Users can expect a voice assistant that not only understands natural voice commands but can also engage in meaningful dialogues. Whether it's inquiring about destination details, seeking a new dinner recipe, or asking complex questions, users can now receive more comprehensive answers while keeping their focus on the road. PRIVACY Mercedes-Benz takes data privacy seriously and ensures the protection of customer information. The collaboration with Microsoft, specifically through Azure OpenAI Service, allows Mercedes-Benz to tap into the power of ChatGPT while maintaining control over the data collected. Voice command data is stored securely in the Mercedes-Benz Intelligent Cloud, where it undergoes anonymization and analysis, meaning that the data is stripped of any personally identifiable information. This ensures users peace of mind knowing that their personal information is protected and their data is stored in a safe and secure environment. LOOKING AHEAD Mercedes-Benz constantly seeks to redefine the driving experience for its customers to stay ahead of the curve. The beta program provides an opportunity for early adopters to experience the latest technologies firsthand. During the program, valuable insights and feedback from participants will be gathered, enabling Mercedes-Benz developers to further enhance the voice control system based on specific requests and user preferences. The findings from the beta program will shape the rollout strategy of large language models in various markets and languages. Mercedes-Benz continues to push boundaries and redefine the relationship between drivers and their vehicles. Through advancements like the integration of ChatGPT, they strive to create a more seamless, intuitive, and enjoyable driving experience for all.

Mercedes-EQ and Mercedes-Maybach fans rejoice! The first-ever electric Mercedes-Maybach has been revealed! The new addition to the electric lineup is the most luxurious yet. Earlier this week, Mercedes-Benz debuted the Mercedes-Maybach EQS 680 SUV. Akin to it’s brother, the Mercedes-EQ EQS 580 SUV, this electric SUV comes with all of the bells and whistles you can imagine. The exterior of the Mercedes-Maybach GLS 680 SUV is just as stunning as it’s non-electric counterpart, the Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 SUV. Mercedes-Benz lovers on Long Island can expect to see the familiar two-tone exterior paint that we have all come to love! The new SUV also has a closed-off pinstripe grille, chrome plated B pillar trim, monoblock inspired wheels, and is adorned with the Mercedes-Maybach emblem. Taking this car for a spin on Jericho Turnpike is definitely going to turn some heads! The main difference between the interior of this electric Mercedes-Maybach and the gas-powered original, is the seating arrangements. The EQS 680 SUV provides seating for four, instead of the normal six. This creates more room for an amazingly luxurious experience in the second-row. Another notable difference is the continuous center console. The center console starts from the front row, and extends all the way to the second row, connecting with the optional champagne fridge. As if you needed another reason to stop at Wine Doc! Not only is the structure itself beautiful, but functional as well. The continuous center console contains a LED Logo projector which displays the Mercedes-Maybach emblem onto the floor of the vehicle in case you needed a reminder that you are in a Mercedes-Maybach through the amazingly plush leather and cushioning! To add to the sustainability of this electric vehicle, the aforementioned leather included in this SUV is the first to be sustainably dyed using coffee bean shells. This process cuts down on about 100 pounds of salt per vehicle that is usually used to help tan leather. The EQS 680 SUV comes standard with Executive Seats equipped with heating including neck and shoulders, ventilation, and massage functions. Opting for the Chauffeur Package allows for the option to recline the right-rear passenger seat while simultaneously moving the front passenger seat forward for maximum comfort. Additionally, the available calf massage feature makes your wildest Brookstone dreams come true. No need to stop by the Walt Whitman Mall when you have a ride like this! As with any vehicle with the Mercedes-Maybach name on it, you know the tech features are going to be good! Second row passengers can take advantage of two 11.6-inch displays mounted the the back of the front seats for both entertainment, as well as vehicle controls. While owning a EQS 680 SUV, you may not be in the driver’s seat, but you can still be the captain! Mercedes-Benz fans that are familiar with the newer models of the S-Class, may be familiar with the Burmester 4D Surround Sound System included in this SUV. This amazing speaker system uses 15 different speakers throughout the vehicle, as well as technology that allows the passengers to “feel” the music through their seats, hence the “4D” name! Fret not, the driver will experience just as much luxury as the lucky passengers! The Hyperscreen included in this SUV comes with a gorgeous Mercedes-Maybach specific dark blue theme. Various controls are accented with rose gold, and the center console cover keeps the pinstripe theme going throughout the vehicle. Although we don’t have too many details on the hardware to be included in this vehicle yet, Mercedes-Benz has stated that this electric EQS 680 SUV will be more powerful that it’s gas-powered brother, the GLS 600 SUV, with an output of 649 horsepower and 701 lb-feet of torque. The electric Mercedes-Maybach will also have a slightly different DYNAMIC SELECT experience. Instead of the usual Comfort mode, this SUV will have Mercedes-Maybach specific options that will truly give the passengers a first-class experience in terms of comfort and road-feel. We are sure this new feature would be so helpful while driving on the Northern State Parkway during pothole season! As much as it seems as if we already know much about the all-new Mercedes-Maybach EQS 680 SUV, we can’t wait to see the beautiful ride in person and experience it for ourselves! We just so happen to know someone whose personality is just as grandiose as the one presented through this beautiful vehicle… Someone whose name starts with a BIG, and ends with a STEVE! Stay tuned to see what he will have to say about this luxurious vehicle by following us on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn! In the meantime, come on down to our Huntington located dealership near Greenlawn, Northport, and Dix Hills, with any questions or inquiries regarding any of the amazingly innovative vehicles in the Mercedes-EQ lineup! We can’t wait to see everyone soon!

The year is 2023 and now more than ever, we are seeing more and more self-driving, and electric vehicles jump into the US market. Not all are built the same though, as is shown with the brand new Mercedes-EQ lineup. Many electric vehicles come with their own form of “self-driving”. Mercedes-EQ has announced that it will be introducing its Level 3 autonomous driving for US customers by the second half of 2023 with their ‘Drive Pilot”. With over 30 different sensors, the Drive Pilot is able to control braking, steering, power supply, and more, by using a combination of the sensors, as well as LiDAR, ultrasound, moisture readers, and microphones. Now if you have read our previous blog post on this topic, you know that there are different levels of autonomous self-driving set by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), depending on how much the support features may depend on human supervision. The graph below shows the different levels of self-driving, as well as their requirements to meet said levels. Now what makes the Mercedes-EQ EQS 450+, EQB 300 SUV, EQE 350+,  and EQS 580 SUV better than its competitors, is this level three certification. This surpasses other vehicles in the industry such as Tesla, who is still currently at Level 2 Automation. Unlike a Level 2 System, the Mercedes-EQ vehicles use a system where the user is not driving when automated driving features are engaged, while vehicle companies such as Tesla, Ford, and GM, require constant supervision from the driver as the vehicle steers and accelerates. Mercedes-Benz has been the first company to truly try to step forward and actually move to the highest level of autonomous driving yet, by introducing Level 3 automation to their vehicles. As a Mercedes-Benz dealership on Long Island in the Suffolk County area, we are proud to stand behind a company that is honest with its consumers, as well as light years ahead in technology. We can’t wait to watch Jericho Turnpike eventually fill up with more and more electric vehicles. We may be a little biased, but given this knowledge, we know just which ones we would choose! If you are looking for a self-driving vehicle, in the Huntington, Northport, Commack, Greenlawn, Farmingdale, Suffolk County, Nassau County, or NYC area, be sure to give us a call or stop by our beautiful dealership so that we can help you get the Mercedes-EQ vehicle, or even S-Class, that you deserve. If it's Mercedes-Benz, it has to be the best or nothing!

Being one of the leaders of the automotive industry, it comes as no surprise that the Mercedes-Benz Drive Pilot has been the first automated car technology to be internationally certified at SAE Level 3! With safety and technology being the pillars upon which Mercedes-Benz has created their company, it only makes sense. It is no wonder that the German company is so loved all over Long Island, New York, and across the world. Since May of 2021, the Drive Pilot has been available for the S-Class and 2022 EQS lines from Mercedes-EQ. With the Mercedes-Benz 2022 EQB having just arrived at our dealership, we can just feel the future coming. What is Automated Driving? Automated driving is form of self-driving. An autonomous vehicle is a vehicle capable of sensing its environment and operating without human involvement. This means, when you are driving on the LIE, Northern State Parkway, or even Jericho Turnpike, your vehicle would take it's surroundings into account and act accordingly. This sure would help those who commute from Huntington to New York City! SAE International has stated different levels of driving automation ranging from SAE Level 0, to SAE Level 5. The SAE Level 3 Certification that Mercedes-Benz has received, states that the human in the driver seat is not driving when the automated features engage, and that when the feature requests, the human must drive! The automated technology controls features such as braking, steering, power supply, and more, by using radar, cameras, LiDAR, ultrasound, moisture sensors, and microphones. There are over 30 different sensors in total! Following the activation of DRIVE PILOT, the system controls speed and distance, while also keeping the vehicle in its own lane. What will this mean for the future of the automotive industry? More self-driving cars as the market attempts to gain an edge over one-another perhaps! In the meantime, Mercedes-Benz has announced that the brand has taken things one step further with the introduction on INTELLIGENT PARK PILOT for the future facilitation of fully automated driverless parking to SAE Level 4. Let's stay tuned to see what the future of automotive technology holds, with Mercedes-Benz at its forefront!

From playground turf to raised flower beds, we know there has been no shortage of ways that the world has tried to make use of and/or recycle used car tires. Being no stranger to the sustainability conversation, Mercedes-Benz has come up with a new way to use this commonly thrown away item. In the past year, Mercedes-Benz has taken no small measure to try to reduce their carbon footprint. From the new Mercedes-EQ electric vehicle line-up including sedans and SUVs, to the various other on-going projects, the German company is always looking for new ways to become more ethical. In an effort to improve even more, Mercedes-Benz has been rethinking the composition of their materials. Ever the pioneers of the automotive industry, they have made it their goal to increase the share of recycled materials in its passenger car fleet to an average of 40 percent by 2030! This goal is what brought the use of tires to be. "Through close cooperation with our supplier network, we are replacing raw fossil resources with pyrolysis oil made in part from recycled tyres supplied by Mercedes-Benz. Components featuring this technology will enter series production in a number of our models as early as this year. We anticipate being able to chemically recycle several hundred tons of scrap tyres from Mercedes-Benz vehicles each year and to use the resulting plastic in our new vehicles. Together with our partners, we are closing the material cycle and actively driving the development of innovative recycling processes,” According to their website, they are working closely with their supplier in an effort to reuse the oil made from scrap tires by chemically recycling. This new plastic will apparently be certified in accordance with the mass balance approach, an independent certification that confirms that said supplier replaced the quantity of fossil resources from tire recycling. This will be the first time in history that pyrolysis oil from recycled tires will be combined with biomethane! Way to go, Mercedes-Benz and BASF! These new materials will match up to the Mercedes-Benz standard in safety and paintability. This is revolutionary for the automotive industry because these new parts will have the potential to replace a large number of vehicle components made from primary plastic. The Mercedes-EQ EQE and S-Class made in 2022 will be the first series-production models to include the new biomethane and pyrolysis materials that were created from the old tires. The S-Class will also include a crash absorber based on these materials. This huge step in material sourcing really goes to show that Mercedes-Benz is taking their Ambition 2039 mission seriously. This objective of Mercedes-Benz states that they intend to create a CO2-neutral new car fleet in less than 20 years. Being Mercedes-Benz lovers from Long Island, we are especially thankful that the company has decided to focus on the careful use of resources in their new manufactured vehicles. Sustainability has always been an important part of a Long Island resident’s life, whether you have been raised in Nassau County, Suffolk County, or out East, and we are glad that vehicle companies that people drive in the Huntington, Commack, and Northport area reflect that as well!

Mercedes-Benz is a company that always prioritizes convenience without sacrificing luxury. One of the key features that perfectly melds together both qualities, is the in-car voice command feature: "Hey Mercedes". Similar to Siri, Amazon Alexa, or any other voice command system, "Hey Mercedes" helps with various features around your C 300, AMG GLE 53, or other Mercedes-Benz vehicle by simply using your voice. By saying "Hey Mercedes" or by using the voice command button located on the vehicle's steering wheel, users can tell their car to do so many different actions in many different languages. If you are familiar with the MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience System), then you may already be aware of some of the features that "Hey Mercedes" is able to control. List of Top "Hey-Mercedes!" Voice Commands "Hey Mercedes _______:" Can you change the ambient lighting to blue? Navigate to home/work/address . Ex: "Hey Mercedes, Navigate to 1103 East Jericho Tpke, Huntington." or "Hey Mercedes, Navigate to the Walt Whitman Mall." Open roller sunblinds. Increase temperature two degrees/ Adjust the temperature to 60 degrees. Change the radio to frequency 100.3. Call John /Any contact from your paired device. Turn on driver's side massage seat. & So much more! "Hey Mercedes!" is a great feature to take advantage of in your Mercedes-Benz sedan, SUV, wagon, coupe, or convertible. For any more questions, or to check out our available cars with "Hey Mercedes", give us a call or come on down to our dealership in the Huntington, Commack, Northport, Cold Spring Harbor, and Greenlawn vicinity!

Mercedes-Benz has finally unveiled their brand new electric solar-powered concept car, the Vision EQXX. Said to be the most efficient Mercedes-Benz ever, there is a lot of hype surrounding the German company’s newest release. Through teases seen in three episodes on the Mercedes-Benz Youtube channel, Mercedes-Benz lovers all over the world watched as the future of the company’s EV plans were explained. The new Vision EQXX aims to achieve a driving range of more than 620 miles on a full charge. As Car and Driver states, “ While automakers revealing futuristic EV concepts tend to prioritize promises of performance over range, Mercedes-Benz is reversing that equation with the Vision EXX.”. This is shown to be true with the reported 201 Horsepower but 620 miles on a charge. This perspective really thrusts the auto-company even further into the sustainability conversation, following their recent release of the Mercedes-Benz 2022 EQS 450+ Sedan, their electric vehicle on par with the symbolic S-Class. If you have been reading anything about the EQXX you likely have heard of the 900-Volt Battery Pack that will be included. This special pack was created with the efforts of AMG's High Performance Powertrains division. They also develop Mercedes-Benz Petronas F1 Engines as well as the powerplant for the AMG One. If this battery is made by the same engineers that keep Lewis Hamilton going, we don't want to miss out on this! The battery operates at a whopping 900-volts and uses a compact design. This allows it to hold more energy while remaining a light weight for it's power. The exterior of the new solar-powered vehicle is both sporty and sleek, with design cues giving it a very low drag coefficient of 0.17. The vehicle will also feature 117 solar cells on the roof, built to offset the energy drain on the high-voltage system while also increasing the range. Mercedes-Benz has kept aerodynamics in mind with the shallow trunk angle and flowing design. The front face of the vehicle is also smaller than one seen on the compact CLA 250, and creates minimal resistance along with the shallow trunk angle. The interior of the EQXX is also something to brag about. Taking cues from the 2022 EQS yet still adding a breath of fresh air, Mercedes-Benz still keeps the environment in mind while moving towards the future. The Vision EQXX features a wide host of sustainable materials in the interior including mushrooms, bamboo, cactus, and vegan silk. Their aim in using these materials is to show that luxury does not have to mean you have to use animal products to achieve the feeling of comfort. Using these materials instead has halved their carbon footprint alone! Other than gorgeous new materials, the Vision EQXX nods to the EQS with the implementation of a massive 47.5-inch screen that goes across the full width of the new Mercedes-Benz vehicle. Unlike the Hyperscreen, which you can read more about on our 2022 EQS information page, the Vision EQXX is a one-piece display screen versus three. The Vision EQXX is still a concept-car but that doesn't make it any less of a display of the technology and design that Mercedes-Benz has planned for the future. We can't wait to see what else they come up with to push us towards a new future of EVs! If you're itching to go electric after the premiere of the Vision EQXX, don't fear! Check out our growing inventory of available Mercedes-EQ vehicles in Huntington, Long Island to hold you over in the meantime!

The brand new Mercedes-Benz 2022 EQS electric vehicle has finally arrived at our Mercedes-Benz Dealership in Huntington and we are SO in love! Not only is the 2022 EQS beautiful, but it is practical in it’s functionality. By 2025, a high percentage of new cars will be electric, and as usual, Mercedes-Benz is one of the first to make the move towards the future. There are many benefits to having an electric vehicle on Long Island other than for obvious reasons. Other than the awe-inspired looks you will receive from everyone while driving down Jericho Turnpike, here are a few other benefits of owning an electric vehicle in New York, and across the country. Cost Efficiency Many people may be wondering, “Is owning an electric vehicle cost efficient?” or “Are electric cars better than gas cars? What are the benefits?”, to which the answer would be YES! Not only is it cost efficient but it is also 40% LESS than the cost to fill up your vehicle with gasoline. Given that electric vehicles also have less moving parts than normal vehicles, servicing them can be a lot easier and can be done less frequently. Mercedes me Charge also enables users to receive 30 complimentary charging minutes per session for the first two years from account activation. Reduced Noise and Air Pollution Not only is owning an electric vehicle good for your wallet, but it is sustainable and great for the environment as well. Other than the Mercedes-EQ line, Mercedes-Benz cares deeply about the planet, which you can read more about in our blog post, "How Does Mercedes-Benz Practice Sustainability" or by going through various projects of theirs on the Daimler website. Mercedes-Benz also utilizes a Green Charging feature. This ensures that the same amount of electricity from renewable resources is fed into the grid for charging electric vehicles, thus creating a demand for more renewable energy, promoting the furtherment of green power sources. Since EVs have no exhaust emissions, they have a much smaller carbon footprint than traditional vehicles do. Convenience There are many options to charge your electric vehicle overnight at your Huntington, Cold Spring Harbor, Northport, or Elwood home. You’ll never have to find a gas station again. For on the go, websites such as PlugShare, ChargeHub, Google Maps, and the COMAND Navigation built into your Mercedes-Benz electric vehicle can tell you where the nearest charging station is! Using ChargePoint and Qmerit, you can even get your own Level 2 charging station at home. Reduce Commute Time For those of you wondering, “Can I use the HOV lane by having an EV?”, the answer is yes! Having an electric vehicle not only saves you money, but also time, as they are entitled to use HOV lanes on the Long Island Expressway (LIE) due to the Clean Pass Program, and in other areas depending on local incentives. Performance Due to the fact that electric vehicles create instant torque, drivers can expect high acceleration speeds and increased towing capacity. Charging Charging is a lot easier with electric vehicles than you think! If you are wondering “How long does it take to charge my EV?” the answer is quite simple with the EQS. Level 1 Charging, 110V AC (Not Recommended): 4mi/hr Level 2 Charging 240V AC: 30mi/hr Level 2 Charging Stations can be found all around Huntington, Brentwood, Northport, Massapequa, and most surrounding areas as well! With a range of around 350 miles in the EQS, you can rely on your electric vehicle just as much as a regular car! As you can see there are so many benefits to having an electric vehicle that are more than what meets the eye. if you are still on the fence about them, here is your sign that electric vehicles are just as good as your normal C 300, GLB 250, or GLS 450.
