Gross. Mercedes owners want an Apple screen not this gross non-Apple pleb stuff. Let's be honest, if Mercedes made Daimlernet as their exclusive, $100/mo paid communications platform with verified checkmarks they'd get a lot of buyers. Daimlernet would also be useful for Freightliner (a Mercedes product) as a built-in ELD, smog and weight compliance device. A lot of trucking companies would by a Daimlernet radio relay mesh network for guaranteed communication to trucks, and Mercedes could leverage this to bootstrap self-driving vehicles.

Instead we got flossing, angry birds and livestreamed porn.
