The MBUX Interior Assistant is equipped with
fr
ont and rear cameras.
% Alternatively, a conNgur
ation with front cam-
era only is also available.
The front camera consists of two cameras that
suppor
t the driver and the front passenger.

The MBUX Interior Assistant records the vehicle
occupants via 3D laser cameras. The cameras of
the front camera are located in the overhead con-
trol panel. The cameras of the rear camera are
located in the roof bows.
The Assistant detects interactions of the vehicle
occupants via the cameras. It interprets the natu-
ral hand, head and body movements of the vehi-

ger vehicle interior functions and assist appropri-
ately to the situation. 1
