The solution
The all-new Mercedes-Benz CLA, the brand's first vehicle featuring the MB.OS platform, introduces advanced driver-assistance features powered by NVIDIA's full-stack DRIVE AV software, AI infrastructure and accelerated compute. NVIDIA DRIVE AV uses an AI end-to-end stack for core driving alongside a parallel classical safety stack built on NVIDIA Halos, enabling advanced level 2 automated driving capabilities including point-to-point urban navigation, active safety with proactive collision avoidance, and automated parking. The system is built on a cloud-to-car pipeline: NVIDIA DGX systems train DRIVE AV foundation models, NVIDIA Omniverse and Cosmos provide simulation and validation, and NVIDIA DRIVE AGX with the DRIVE Hyperion sensor architecture handles in-vehicle perception, sensor fusion and decision-making in real time.
Reported business value
The CLA recently achieved a five-star EuroNCAP safety rating, with the performance of MB.DRIVE active safety features in accident mitigation and avoidance contributing to this top safety score. NVIDIA DRIVE AV's enhanced level 2 point-to-point driver assistance is expected to reach U.S. roads by the end of this year.

Martur Fompak International Boosts Throughput and Efficiency with Intelligent Robotics Enabled by Joule and Embodied AI
Martur Fompak International, a global automotive seating and interior systems manufacturer, deployed an autonomous intralogistics model using SAP's Joule solution and embodied AI capabilities, partnering with UK-based robotics company Humanoid. Built on SAP S/4HANA and SAP Extended Warehouse Management, the system gives humanoid robots and autonomous mobile robots real-time knowledge of tasks, storage locations, sequencing and production priorities, letting them identify, transport and deliver materials to the production line while continuously confirming actions back into SAP systems. The company has 400 daily production line feeds with 100% SAP software-driven decision making. Early results show increased throughput and fewer errors, with a future target of up to five times greater work efficiency for mass production. Martur Fompak International was named sole winner in the AI Excellence category at the 2026 SAP Innovation Awards.
