Arcadian Partners with Sony Pictures Entertainment to Launch RIDEVU App in Mercedes-Benz Vehicles

Arcadian, your back-office workforce for the video streaming entertainment industry, is proud to announce a partnership with Sony Pictures Entertainment to launch the RIDEVU app in Mercedes-Benz vehicles. This groundbreaking collaboration brings together the creative and technical power of Sony and the expertise of Arcadian to deliver an unparalleled in-car entertainment experience.

RIDEVU is Sony’s next-generation app that transforms how passengers engage with entertainment while on the move. Featuring a rich library of Sony Pictures Entertainment's movies and TV shows, the app integrates seamlessly into the Mercedes-Benz infotainment system.

Coded in React, the app interfaces with Mercedes-Benz’s in-house developed MB.OS and MBUX, the infotainment multimedia system. Arcadian also implemented the MQTT messaging protocol to allow for the syncing on multiple screens. The app was able to achieve certification on its first try, an achievement that has not been common at Mercedes-Benz.  

"This partnership with Sony Pictures Entertainment in launching RIDEVU into Mercedes-Benz is a testament to our capability in pushing the boundaries of in-car entertainment," said Joe Waltzer, CEO of Arcadian. "RIDEVU represents a perfect blend of Sony's iconic content and a cutting-edge digital platform, providing passengers with a unique and engaging entertainment experience."

Arcadian’s collaboration with Sony on the RIDEVU app is one of the many innovative streaming video entertainment solutions that exemplifies our expertise.
