Mercedes-Benz has announced its plans to be the first automotive manufacturer to launch in vehicle 3 word address navigation.
The announcement follows Daimler’s partnership with the innovative addressing system what3words.
what3words is a global addressing system that has divided the world into 3m x 3m squares, each with a unique address made of 3 dictionary words. The 3 word address ///genau.freundin.tagebuch for example, refers to the exact 3m x 3m at the Mercedes-Benz manufacturing plant entrance in Stuttgart-Untertürkheim.
The luxury car manufacturer has built what3words into their next generation infotainment system launching next year. Drivers will be able to type or say 3 words to pinpoint an exact destination anywhere in the world.
