There are three general areas under the huge display: a central infotainment screen, a dashboard for behind the steering wheel, and an additional screen for the passenger. ## Zero Fuss The automaker doesn't want drivers to scroll through numerous menus and has worked to make only the most important items available during operation of the vehicle. Mercedes-Benz calls this the interface's "zero layer." The automaker also didn't shy away from including AI-based features, either. "If you always call one particular person on the way home on Tuesday evenings, you will be asked to make a corresponding call on that day of the week and that specific time of day," reads an [official statement](). Other features, like seat or steering wheel heating, would also be offered up by the system depending on the driver's preferences. This "zero layer" feature is meant to make the Hyperscreen as simple to use as possible while minimizing distractions. "The MBUX Hyperscreen continually gets to know the customer better and delivers a tailored, personalized infotainment and operating offering before the occupant even has to click or scroll anywhere," Mercedes-Benz board member and CTO Sajjad Khan said in the statement. The carmaker's EQ lineup of cars are set to go into production [later this year](). **READ MORE:** [Mercedes-Benz unveils its absolutely massive 56-inch ‘Hyperscreen’ display]() \[The Verge\] **More on Mercedes:** *[New Mercedes-Benz Electric Car Has 750 Mile Range]()* ## Author I've been at Futurism since 2017, where my role has evolved to encompass design, writing, and increasingly editing. I've always been fascinated by space exploration and advanced transportation, which I've leaned into by interviewing luminaries in those fields while closely following the dimensions of policy and regulation that allow next-generation projects to succeed -- or, sometimes, to fail. I'm also keenly interested in the effects of generative AI on society, policies, and democratic institutions, as well as clean energy, physics and biology, and the vagaries of tech leadership. My work for Futurism has been cited by publications including Ars Technica, Gizmodo, PC Magazine, Jalopnik, Fox News, and the New York Post. I spent my childhood living in locations including Manila, the Philippines, and Geneva, Switzerland, attended McGill University, and now live in Toronto, Canada. Before Futurism I worked at AskMen and a small photography studio. In my free time, I'm an avid gardener, foodie, and craft beer lover, as well as a maker of artisanal hot pepper sauces. I have a magnificent dog named Freida. ### Author social links [Bluesky]()
