The latest version of Mercedes-Benz’s voice activation
system, known as Linguatronic, will for the first time allow you to control
more than just the infotainment system.
In addition to controlling regular infotainment functions
such as the navigation or communications, Linguatronic will let you control
climate and comfort settings. The system has also been updated to better
understand natural speaking.
Starting with the E-Class range, the latest version of
Linguatronic will let you adjust the air conditioner temperature, blower
strength, seat heating and rear window demister. You can also use Linguatronic
to call up a wide range of information, such as the date the car’s next service
is due, the current speed limit, the vehicle's range or the current date.
A number of comfort settings can also be controlled. For
example, the driver can simply say “massage me” to activate the in-seat
massagers. Mercedes says Linguatronic has hundreds of alternatives in more than
a dozen languages for voice commands, resulting in a high likelihood the driver
will hit the right phrase at the first attempt.
Another new feature of Linguatronic is the ability to
further speed up choosing the right voice command. This function allows the
driver to interrupt the system's voice response to halt the current dialog and
move on to the next dialog step sooner. This makes voice control faster and
more efficient.
Finally, Mercedes has tweaked the Linguatronic system so
that its voice responses are more human-like. The system avoids repeating the
same voice responses, instead varying its responses between three or four
possible options.
