Major global industries have acknowledged that the world is set on an irreversible path to implementing AI into daily human lives, unleashing waves of innovations across industries to try and harness the power of the growing technology.

However, the background's operational process of the technology system will remain under Mercedes' control.

Markus Schafer, the company's Chief Technology Officer, said that customers will be "free to make their own decisions" regarding data security.

They will be informed "at all times what information is collected and for what purpose," he said, assuring that it "protects all customer data from manipulation and misuse".

The beta program will last three months, Mercedes announced, during which it will work on improving the new system according to customers' feedback.
