Mercedes-Benz E class 2024 gets giant touchscreen, selfie camera

The Mercedes Benz E-Class 2024 will feature immersive entertainment with music, games, and streaming content, according to Mercedes Benz on February 24. The new, “digitally innovative” vehicle interior also has offer features like a selfie camera and built-in apps for TikTok and Zoom.

Additionally, Mercedes provides the E-class with an all-new infotainment pad mounted on the console as well as new air-conditioning controls within the display.

With a 17-speaker Burmester 4D surround sound system, as well as sound transducers in the front seats, the 2024 E-class features Dolby Atmos technology and supports Spatial Audio through Apple Music. The interior light strips also adapt to the ongoing music and change to match the beat in real time.

The brand has also installed multiple safeguards to ensure that drivers will not be distracted by the passenger seat offerings. For example, the passenger screen is sense activated because of movement, barring which it acts as a screensaver. The selfie camera tracks the driver’s eye movements, and the car can also automatically dim the passenger’s to reduce distractions for the driver.

So far, cars have only found a way to mirror the apps from the smartphone into the infotainment system, but this display allows the installation of third party apps like TikTok, Angry Birds, Webex, Zoom video conferencing and Vivaldi browser.

Notably this will be Mercedes’ last gas-powered vehicle. The brand aims to transform into an electric-only company by the year 2030.
