This car runs KDE Plasma's KWin, along with many other Mercedes-Benz models currently launching: https://youtu.be/wo5As8et1G8 https://youtu.be/pqJ-9SUPFwY Notably this deployment doesn't use any of the old-gen automotive Wayland cruft like ivi-shell though.

I miss the 1990s Benz 190E I used to drive: the only electronics in sight were the tape deck/radio. Even the door locks ran off a vacuum system.
