Embedded

MBition and many partners are working on the next-generation infotainment system.

One of our innovations is the MBiENT platform, the operating system that will enable continuous, sustainable improvement of the entire infotainment system. MBiENT is a reusable platform that enables developers worldwide to develop applications for Infotainment systems independent of the car´s production live cycle. The platform runs on affordable commodity hardware targets to enable the best developer experience.

With our reference system for MBiENT new applications can be run, tested and presented before they will be introduced to in-car hardware.

Our MBiENT platform is developed in our own Software Factory which combines our various tools, automation, documentation and our Way of Working. Our Way of Working is the scaled agile framework we use to organize our development team.

In summary MBiENT platform will enable three main points:
– Decouple software and hardware development
– Enable software innovation
– Enable re-use for future generations of infotainment systems

The MBiENT platform will bridge the gap between complex car integration and convenient application development.

Software Factory

Continuity is key.

Our Software Factory is an automated, scalable and flexible platform combined with self-services, established templates & common practices. With this platform we provide the foundation that enables Mercedes-Benz to fully own its software development cycle so projects are able to continuously develop, test, build, monitor and deliver their code.

Our teams are structured among the DevOps loop in so called Value Streams (VS):

The VS Development has the goal of making code & building software as fast and efficient as possible.
The VS Testing has the goal to enable our customer to bring quality in focus.
The VS Measuring has the goal of enabling our customers to make data driven decisions by collecting, aggregating and presenting relevant metrics.
The VS Foundations is the foundation for all Software Factory customers. Here, we create a self-service solution for all projects that join the SwF.

ADAS

Advanced driver assistance systems

Autonomous driving will change the way we live, work and travel. MBition is making the vision of autonomous driving reality by developing the next generation of advanced driver assistance systems for Mercedes Benz.

We are working on the full stack, from the platform to algorithms, and along the entire development process, from simulation and integration to validation. This is how we approve and release a safe and reliable autonomous driving system.

Cloud Services

Personalization – that`s me!

Imagine getting into a car, not everything is perfect, right? Either you adjust the seat or the mirrors, you change the radio station or configure the navigation system and so on …

Wouldn`t it be great if all this had already been set for you as you would like it to be – preferably even before you get into the car?

It almost sounds like magic, that makes you comfortable and saves you a lot of time. That`s personalization – what we`re developing together.
