These applications, Mercedes-Benz says, significantly accelerate time-to-market in Mercedes-Benz passenger cars.

The existing services, which include the Google Maps and Places APIs, will create an enhanced motoring experience for Mercedes-Benz drivers across the world, Mercedes says. The collaboration will enable Daimler to use Google Maps for their in-car map displays, and significantly improve their ability to quickly and seamlessly integrate useful Google services into Mercedes-Benz passenger vehicles.

By making innovative Google products available directly within its cars, Mercedes-Benz says it is able to accelerate the adoption of cutting edge technologies.
