According to The Wall Street Journal, the rollout began in October 2026 with recent E-Class and CLE models, with expansion planned for the second quarter of 2027. Liquid AI is an MIT spinout. Simple commands are handled locally, while complex requests can still go to the cloud. The aim is to adjust heating and infotainment to attract customers in a difficult market, not to drive the car.
