Mercades-Benz became the first automaker to launch what3words in vehicles

A recent JD Power survey found that car navigation systems being difficult to use and inaccurate is one of the most frequently reported problems, along with voice recognition issues. The automotive industry has struggled to improve these features, because the world’s street addressing systems are incompatible with modern navigation needs, especially voice input. 

Addresses were not built for voice input. 240 California Street and to 40 California Street are hard for a voice system to distinguish between, and many road names aren’t unique. There are 14 different Church Roads in London, 632 Juarez Streets in Mexico City and 71 Peachtree Streets in Atlanta. Every 3 word address is unique and the AutoSuggest feature helps correct mistakes, making sure drivers reach the correct destination, every time. what3words enables Mercedes-Benz drivers to input 3 words to reach any 10ftx 10ft location. This allows drivers to input not just a building, but a precise entrance or parking spot, for a truly seamless experience.
