Mercedes Plans an App Store


With internet-connected infotainment systems becoming mainstream, Mercedes also wants to be on the forefront of offering Internet applications for the automobile.

Speaking with Automotive News Europe, Mercedes design chief Gorden Wagener said "We can imagine developing a so-called 'Mercedes App Store,' with apps that make the life of the Mercedes driver even more comfortable." However, Wagener declined to say when the apps would be launched.

"Without a data infrastructure that permits fairly high transmission speeds into the car, it's no fun and it doesn't make sense." he said.
