BURLINGTON, Mass., Dec. 03, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cerence Inc. (NASDAQ: CRNC), AI for a world in motion, today announced continued innovation and development collaboration with Daimler on its Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) multimedia system.

One of the most revolutionary and feature-rich infotainment systems on the market today, MBUX provides an elegant, personalized and connected experience through Cerence solutions for Mercedes-Benz drivers and passengers worldwide.
