If you need your daily horoscope read to you or want to keep the kids entertained whilst driving, then Mercedes-Benz has the answer with an update to its Siri-like system.

“Hey Mercedes” was introduced in the A-Class hatchback and is now in all new Mercedes-Benz vehicles such as the electric EQC and facelift GLC.

The system performs such operations as changing radio stations for you, altering the interior temperature, setting your destination and telling you the outside temperature.

Now, alongside the Mercedes-Benz Unique Experience (MBUX) system, you can get your daily horoscope read out to you, a snow and ski report and quizzes to keep the kids amused.

The downside? No, not a bad horoscope reading. At this stage it's only available in Europe.

If it does come to New Zealand, I suggest an update with a surf report or or maybe an interactive ‘I spy’. Or once the lockdown has finished, where you can get a good pie and coffee.
