Overview of the MBUX Interior Assistant
The MBUX Interior Assistant monitors the driver
and front passenger using 3D cameras in the
roof lining. In so doing, it interprets their move‐
ments and their overall body language in order
to assist, appropriate to the situation, with auto‐
matically triggered functions in the vehicle inte‐
rior.
The Assistant supports vehicle and infotainment
functions at three interaction levels:
R
INTELLIGENT
The Assistant recognises vehicle occupants
automatically and carries out functions.
R
REACTIVE
The Assistant recognises the natural body
language of a vehicle occupant and carries
out functions automatically, appropriate to
the situation.
R

function through a hand movement or a
favourites pose (V pose).

ing functions inside the vehicle and support‐
