After rumors that Tesla will integrate ChatGPT into its vehicles, Mercedes-Benz announced that it will add the viral social media application TikTok to its cars.

Cars are no longer just cars and turn into a center of interaction. In this context, according to recent reports, the version of the new Mercedes-Benz E-Class, which will be released in the fall of 2023, will include TikTok integration.

Drivers and passengers will be able to access various applications such as TikTok, Zoom video conferencing, Angry Birds and Vivaldi during the journey with this giant touch interactive panel.
