Since then, other automakers and suppliers have followed Mercedes-Benz's example, making Silicon Valley the epicenter of automotive innovation.

Mercedes-Benz's Silicon Valley research facility, which employs several hundred developers, recently showcased a new operating system, MB.OS, which is set to debut in the next CLA and will be a powerful weapon against Tesla.

The operating system will dramatically simplify the electronic architecture of vehicles with four central domain controllers and a cloud as a basis, and will decouple the development cycles of hardware and software.

Silicon Valley is considered the navel of the new world due to the quality of life and leisure time in the region, the proximity to universities such as Stanford or Berkeley, and the mindset of inventing something new and changing the world.
