Fingerprint payments added to Mercedes cars
Starting this month, Mercedes is offering its customers in Germany a new in-car payment method. Thanks to the new Mercedes pay+ digital service, customers can make payments using the fingerprint scanner in their car. This two-factor biometric authentication system replaces the use of a PIN or smartphone for payments.
This innovative system is made possible by the integration of Visa Delegated Authentication and Cloud Token Framework technologies, which provide an additional layer of security to protect payment data.
Mercedes is the first car manufacturer in the world to implement these technologies to enable in-vehicle payments. EQS, EQE, S-Class, C-Class and GLC will be the first to offer this feature to their owners.
Customers can use in-vehicle in-car payments to pay for digital services. Through the MBUX system, they can activate and subscribe to these digital services, as well as authorize the transaction with their fingerprint. Services available include connectivity apps that control vehicle comfort features, software updates, advanced navigation services, and more.
In addition, pre-installed hardware components can be easily unlocked with your fingerprint in the Mercedes me Store upon request. This means that vehicle owners can further customize their vehicles after purchase.
The system will also be extended to other services, such as refueling. Currently, Mercedes drivers in Germany and other countries can already pay for refueling directly from the car via the Mercedes me app or via the MBUX infotainment system using a PIN code.

Tesla GigaBier introduced. It’s already available for purchase.

Tesla has released a limited edition Cybertruck-themed GigaBier beer. Beer is offered for $30.
It is worth recognizing that this is not the first original idea from Elon Musk’s companies. Previously, The Boring Company offered flamethrowers and Burnt Hair cologne with the smell of burnt hair, and Tesla released a Cyberwhistle in the spirit of Cybertruck. Of course, there was Tesla branded tequila. By the way, at the time of its announcement, they also thought that this was an April Fool’s joke.
The Tesla GigaBier bottle is designed to mimic the shape of the Cybertruck, paying homage to the 500-year-old Reinheitsgebot tradition of German brewing. Enjoy this beer brewed in Berlin with our exclusive Cyberhops and notes of citrus, bergamot and sweet fruit. Each bottle has a glow-in-the-dark Giga logo.
