Mercedes-Benz

Mercedes-Benz is a German premium automotive brand and manufacturer operating within the Mercedes-Benz Group (Mercedes-Benz Group AG, formerly Daimler AG; listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange as MBG), headquartered in Stuttgart. The brand was formed in 1926 through the merger of Karl Benz's company (creator of the Benz Patent-Motorwagen, 1886) and Gottlieb Daimler's. The group's CEO is Ola Kaellenius. Mercedes-Benz is one of the world's largest premium automakers. In artificial intelligence, the company develops: MBUX - an infotainment system with an AI voice assistant using large language models (integrations with Google, Microsoft and ChatGPT-style models); DRIVE PILOT - a Level 3 autonomous-driving system; and MB.OS - its own vehicle operating system. Mercedes-Benz partners with AI and technology providers (including NVIDIA and Liquid AI). The brand also includes the Mercedes-AMG and Mercedes-Maybach divisions; its truck business was spun off in 2021 as Daimler Truck.
