At the 2014 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Mercedes-Benz introduced an advanced navigation system that can predict a driver's destination with 80% accuracy, anticipate their route, and suggest possible alternatives.
How does it work? By taking into account the driver’s starting location, the weather, day of the week, time of day, and who’s in the car, the predictive system generates a set of options based on historical data and even determines the final destination.
The driver could choose to accept these proposals which significantly reduce opportunities for distraction and frustration, and over time these proposals get better, more accurate, and more personalized.
For example, if one or more kids sit in the back on a Thursday, the system understands that the driver likely wants to stop by the school.
It can also recognize the desires, moods, and preferences of the driver and passengers, and proactively predict and simplify the next operating steps, like adjusting the cabin temperature or selecting a certain type of music.
No release date has been announced for Mercedes' predictive navigation system.
