If you own a Mercedes-Benz and either an iPhone or Blackberry, things just got a bit more sci-fi for you. In partnership with Hughes Telematics, Mercedes has launched an application for iPhones and Blackberries that will allow drivers to lock and unlock car doors, locate their vehicles on a map, and contact roadside assistance using their devices.

Hughes developed the base software platform while Mercedes will add applications as it develops them. MBRACE will cost $280 a year.
