SUNNYVALE, Calif. — Software-based vehicle upgrades generated more than $1 billion in revenue for Mercedes-Benz last year, the automaker reports. That's also when Mercedes will roll out a robust menu of on-demand services, including charging and automated driving features. "By 2025, we are targeting more than €2 billion ($2.12 billion) from our connected car park," Mercedes-Benz sales chief Britta Seeger said. "Automated driving functions are expected to emerge as our largest software-enabled revenue driver by 2030." "This will have a huge impact on our software-enabled revenue."
