In an era when high-tech in-vehicle features and a large number of infotainment displays are put into the car, the driver's attention is constantly disturbed. Extremely sophisticated apps are also becoming more common, some even enough to distract drivers and cause crashes off the road. Fortunately, there is an easy way to solve this puzzle - deactivating unnecessary applications while the vehicle is in motion.
However, Mercedes-Benz has found that 227 flagship S-Class and EQS can use a variety of features and apps while driving. This has the potential to jeopardize driving safety, so automakers have issued voluntary recalls.
According to the relevant recall documents, Mercedes launched an investigation into the issue in November 2021. It was subsequently found that some features and applications of the MBUX infotainment system were not deactivated as expected when the driver components were in use. The investigation concluded that Mercedes-Benz's back-end servers had a bug that caused many vehicle deactivation procedures to fail.
Needless to say, if drivers choose to use these apps while driving, they pose a potential safety risk not only to themselves, but also to other road users. This danger is further amplified on the huge MBUX super screens of the EQS and through-feed instrument clusters. The fix will be carried out via an OTA remote upgrade and will not require a reseller. Mercedes said it was unclear what any crashes or injuries related to the above errors were.
At the same time, Tesla Motors has had similar problems recently. Tesla has been contacted about Tesla's latest software update, and the supplier provides software that allows passengers and drivers to use the central touchscreen to watch videos and play games while driving.
summary:
In the era of the prevalence of large screens, many car companies have extended the touch screen from the driver's side to the co-driver. This also brings a lot of problems, of which safe driving is obviously the most important. This problem still needs to be discussed, the next step is how to solve the need for each manufacturer is how to do the best driving safety on the basis of the full sense of science and technology, that is the vision of the future intelligent car.
