Mercedes-Benz & will.i.am Transform In-Car Audio with Futuristic FYI RAiDiO App
Mercedes-Benz has teamed up with music and tech visionary will.i.am to revolutionize the in-car entertainment experience through a groundbreaking collaboration with FYI, an AI-powered audio platform. The result? A smart, interactive audio system called FYI RAiDiO, set to redefine how drivers engage with their vehicles.
Unveiled on March 13, 2025, from Stuttgart and Rome, this innovative partnership delivers a tailor-made in-car audio experience powered by artificial intelligence. Designed with the modern, tech-savvy driver in mind, FYI RAiDiO offers content that adapts in real-time based on user preferences, interests, and even moods.
At the heart of FYI RAiDiO are 16 interactive STAiTiONS, each curated around a theme—ranging from Pop Culture, Tech, and Sports to Music, Business, and Wellness. More stations will roll out throughout 2025, ensuring a constantly evolving library of personalized content. Unlike traditional radio, these stations aren’t static—they respond to your voice, your drive style, and your daily routine, offering a highly customized audio journey.
This next-gen system is part of Mercedes-Benz’s ongoing efforts to elevate digital luxury, where every aspect of the drive is immersive and intelligent. FYI RAiDiO is not just about music or news—it’s about creating a conversational, infotainment-rich environment that feels human, entertaining, and relevant.
The platform is now available in a US Beta Program, beginning March 13, for eligible Mercedes-Benz vehicles. It represents a major step forward in AI-powered automotive interaction, marking a shift from passive listening to active, smart engagement behind the wheel.
will.i.am, known for blending music, tech, and innovation, brings his unique creative vision to the experience, making FYI RAiDiO as entertaining as it is forward-thinking.
This collaboration highlights Mercedes-Benz’s ambition to not just build cars, but to create intelligent, connected experiences that resonate with the lifestyle of future drivers.
