  leven en maakt dankzij zijn beproefde veiligheidsconcept in steeds

  <p>
    <strong>Munich. </strong>BMW customers have covered more than 200
    million kilometres hands free with the BMW Highway Assistant. The
    function is used daily by customers in several model ranges,
    including the 5 Series and 7 Series, iX, X5, X6, X7 and XM, as well
    as the new BMW iX3.   </p>
</div>
<div>
  <p>The BMW Highway Assistant enables hands-free driving on highways at
    speeds of up to 130 km/h. The system takes over longitudinal and
    lateral control and supports the driver with automated lane changes
    confirmed with a glance.    </p>
</div>
<div>
  <p>
    <strong>Dr Mihiar Ayoubi, Senior Vice President Driving Experience
    Development:</strong> “The symbiotic interplay between driver and
    driver assistance during hands-free driving with our Highway
    Assistant, and the underlying safety concept, are unique in the
    industry. Over 200 million kilometres of hands-free highway driving
    in real-world customer use demonstrate just how reliable and
    relevant this system is in everyday life.”</p>
</div>
<div>
  <p>With the new generation of BMW driver assistance systems, the
    availability of the Highway Assistant in Europe is being
    significantly expanded from just one country to over 20. In
    addition, the system now provides support from the motorway entrance
    to the exit (entry-2-exit) when navigation is active using BMW Maps.
    Whilst the previous generation was available in Germany, the USA and
    Canada, in the new BMW iX3 and subsequent models such as the BMW i3
    and BMW 7 Series, customers can now enjoy hands-free assisted
    driving on suitable routes across borders in numerous European
    countries thanks to DCAS approval*. These include Germany, Austria,
    Italy, France and Belgium and the Netherlands. Further countries
    such as the UK, Ireland, Spain and Portugal will follow shortly. In
    Northern, Eastern and South-Eastern Europe the function will be
    available at a later date.   </p>
</div>
<div>
  <p>
    <strong>Special safety concept for hands-free assisted driving on
      highways, motorways and the autobahn. </strong> </p>
</div>
<div>
  <p>Hands-free assisted driving with the BMW Highway Assistant is based
    on a comprehensive safety concept. This includes redundant systems
    for lane detection and vehicle positioning via cameras and
    high-resolution maps. Using information from the side cameras, the
    system continuously checks whether the vehicle is centred in the
    lane. A safety chip on the ADAS computer constantly monitors that
    everything is functioning correctly.   </p>
</div>
<div>
  <p>At the same time, the driver always remains responsible. A driver
    camera ensures that the driver stays alert and ready to take over at
    all times. To this end, the driver’s line of sight, eye status and
    head movements are analysed. The system is designed to ensure that
    hands-free driving is restricted exclusively to suitable conditions.
    When the system detects that the driver needs to place their hands
    back on the steering wheel, it prompts them to do so – for example,
    when approaching a highway exit.  </p>
</div>
<div>
  <p>For the new generation of vehicles, starting with the BMW iX3, the
    Motorway Assistant has been further developed with BMW Symbiotic
    Drive. The function is designed to enable seamless interaction
    between driver assistance systems and human driving behaviour. When
    driver assistance is activated, the driver can accelerate, steer and
    brake as required without immediately triggering a deactivation of
    the longitudinal and lateral guidance. The intuitive operating logic
    and clear displays in the BMW Panoramic iDrive ensure that assisted
    driving is intuitive and can be controlled at any time – for the
    safe use of the highest level of automation in SAE Level 2.   </p>
</div>
<div>
  <p>* Function naming in USA/Canada: BMW Highway Assistant; Function
    naming in UK: BMW Motorway Assistant</p>
  <p>** Approval of driver assistance systems in accordance with UN
    Regulation No. 171 for Driver Control Assistance Systems (DCAS)  </p>

  <strong>München.</strong> De BMW Group is de eerste autoconstructeur
  die een volledig nieuw ontwikkeld digitaal systeem lanceert voor al
  zijn aandrijflijnen in alle voertuigsegmenten. Het systeem is
  intelligenter, krachtiger en efficiënter en zal voor het eerst worden
  uitgerold in de modellen van de Neue Klasse. Vier uiterst krachtige
  computers, ook wel ‘superbreinen’ genoemd, zorgen voor het
  computervermogen van de belangrijkste klantenfuncties: infotainment,
  geautomatiseerd rijden, rijdynamica en basisfuncties zoals toegang tot
  de wagen, klimaatregeling en comfort. De vier superbreinen bieden ruim
  twintig keer zo veel rekenkracht als de systemen van de huidige
  modelgeneratie en zijn al afgestemd op toekomstige software- en
  functie-updates, waaronder AI-gestuurde klantervaringen.</p>
<p>“Technologische openheid is de sleutel tot het succes van BMW. Zodra
  het eerste model van de Neue Klasse wordt gelanceerd, zullen we de
  technologieën van de Neue Klasse uitrollen over het volledige
  toekomstige modelgamma – in alle segmenten en voor alle
  aandrijflijnen. Dat geldt ook voor onze volledig nieuw ontwikkelde
  elektronische architectuur die bestaat uit krachtige ‘superbreinen’ en
  onderling sterk verbonden softwareplatformen. Dankzij deze
  architectuur kunnen we de ontwikkeling van de wagen en de software van
  elkaar loskoppelen. Het voordeel: alle toekomstige BMW modellen zullen
  meer dan ooit digitaal up-to-date kunnen worden gehouden via upgrades
  over-the-air en zullen zelfs updates van de volgende en latere
  voertuiggeneraties kunnen ontvangen,” aldus Frank Weber, lid van de
  Raad van Bestuur voor Ontwikkeling bij BMW AG.</p>
<p>Een fundamenteel onderdeel van het digitale systeem is de uiterst
  vereenvoudigde kabelboom. Die is gebaseerd op een zogeheten ‘zonale’
  kabelboomarchitectuur, die 600 meter minder bedrading gebruikt en
  30 procent gewicht bespaart in vergelijking met de vorige generatie.
  De kabelboom is verdeeld in vier zones: voorkant, midden, achterkant
  en dak. De ‘superbreinen’ zijn via snelle dataverbindingen verbonden
  met kleinere regeleenheden, de zonale controllers, die de inkomende en
  uitgaande datastroom van de elektronica in deze zones beheren en
  consolideren. De bedrading in de wagen is dus zonespecifiek en kan
  daardoor korter, dunner en lichter zijn.</p>
<p>Een cruciale voorwaarde voor de dunnere en lichtere bedrading zijn de
  zogenaamde ‘Smart eFuses’. Dat zijn digitale zekeringen die tot 150
  traditionele zekeringen vervangen. ‘Smart eFuses’ kunnen intelligent
  worden geprogrammeerd om de energiedistributie naar componenten
  digitaal te regelen. De selectieve activering van componenten maakt
  het mogelijk om intelligente energiemodi te ontwerpen voor
  verschillende voertuigtoestanden zoals rijden, parkeren, opladen en
  upgraden, waarbij onnodige verbruikers kunnen worden geïdentificeerd
  en uitgeschakeld. De eFuses leveren dus een aanzienlijke bijdrage aan
  de 20 procent hogere energie-efficiëntie.</p>
<p>De volledig nieuw ontwikkelde elektronische architectuur vormt de
  basis voor de volgende generatie ‘Software-Defined Vehicles’ (SDV).
  Vanaf de lancering van de Neue Klasse zal de hele volgende
  modelgeneratie van BMW ervan profiteren. De eerste zuiver elektrische
  variant van de Neue Klasse gaat later dit jaar in serieproductie in de
  fabriek van Debrecen (Hongarije).</p>
<p>De geavanceerde softwarearchitectuur van de BMW Group bouwt voort op
  deze nieuwe elektronische architectuur. Met de veelheid aan digitale
  functies in SDV’s is het cruciaal om functies continu te kunnen
  ontwikkelen op stabiele softwareplatformen in plaats van ze voor elke
  nieuwe generatie opnieuw te ontwikkelen. Dat is precies wat we met de
  Neue Klasse hebben bereikt. In de wagen draaien de softwareplatformen
  op de desbetreffende superbreinen en draaien de voertuigfuncties daar
  bovenop. De ‘Shared Service Layer’ fungeert als een verbindend element
  (middleware) en biedt onder meer een uiterst geavanceerde
  cyberbeveiliging en flexibele updates over-the-air. Het maakt ook
  AI-functies mogelijk die relevant zijn voor de klant dankzij
  intelligente netwerken van domeinoverschrijdende gegevensbronnen.</p>
<p>“Met de introductie van de Neue Klasse schakelen we over op een vorm
  van softwareontwikkeling waarbij we softwarecontinuïteit bereiken. Dat
  betekent dat we software voortdurend verder ontwikkelen in plaats van
  telkens opnieuw te beginnen,” zegt Christoph Grote, Senior Vice
  President Electronics and Software bij de BMW Group. “Op basis van
  onze geavanceerde softwarearchitectuur en het feit dat onze
  wereldwijde ontwikkelingsteams vandaag de dag 130 keer meer software
  genereren dan tien jaar geleden, menen we een uitstekende
  concurrentiepositie te bezitten. Meer dan ooit kunnen onze
  softwareontwikkelaars zich richten op productinnovaties.”</p>
<p>Voor de Neue Klasse werken de ontwikkelingsteams aan ruim duizend
  softwaremodules, meer dan 20 GB software en meer dan 500 miljoen
  regels code, die uiteindelijk zullen worden geïntegreerd in de
  superbreinen en de rest van de elektronische architectuur in de wagen.
  Om dat te realiseren heeft de BMW Group de afgelopen jaren een solide
  basis gelegd voor een toekomstbestendige en uiterst doeltreffende
  ontwikkeling van voertuigsoftware. Innovatieve methoden en tools zijn
  verankerd in het voortdurend groeiende wereldwijde netwerk van
  ontwikkelaars. Centraal in de ontwikkeling van voertuigsoftware staat
  de geïntegreerde ontwikkelaarsomgeving: een op maat gemaakte toolketen
  met de naam ‘CodeCraft’. De snelheid en kwaliteit van de ontwikkeling
  zijn verbeterd dankzij het gebruik van diverse tools die de
  softwareontwikkelaar ondersteunen met generatieve AI. CodeCraft draait
  in de cloud op wel 75.000 virtuele CPU’s, ondersteunt het
  gelijktijdige werk van meer dan 10.000 softwareontwikkelaars en
  registreert op piekmomenten tot 200.000 software builds per dag. Dat
  komt overeen met een productiviteitsstijging van meer dan 130 keer ten
  opzichte van tien jaar geleden.</p>

  <strong>+++ Automated Driving In-fabriek behaalt CE- certificaat +++
    Fabriek Dingolfing start serieproductie, uitbreiding gepland in
    gehele productienetwerk +++ Nedeljković: “BMW Group zet opnieuw
    nieuwe maatstaf voor automatisering en digitalisering van
    productieprocessen” +++</strong></p>
<p>
  <strong>//</strong></p>
<p>
  <strong>Munich, Dingolfing, Leipzig. </strong>The BMW Group is
  systematically advancing the digitalisation and automation of its
  production processes within the BMW iFACTORY framework. Since 2022,
  the company has been testing Automated Driving In-Plant (AFW) for new
  vehicles at its largest European plant in Dingolfing. Following
  successful CE certification, the pilot project is now transitioning
  into series operation.<br />In addition to Dingolfing, Leipzig is also
  currently being enabled to implement the AFW project in series
  operation. Other facilities in the BMW Group production network are
  set to follow in stages.</p>
<p>“Automated Driving In-Plant optimises our production process and
  delivers significant efficiency gains for our logistics,” explains
  Milan Nedeljković, member of the Board of Management of BMW AG
  responsible for Production. “That is why we will be swiftly rolling
  out this technology throughout our production network.”</p>
<p>In addition to the BMW 5 Series and 7 Series in Dingolfing, this
  technology is now also being used for the MINI Countryman and other
  BMW models in Leipzig. In Dingolfing the new vehicles drive fully
  autonomously – without a driver – along a route of more than one
  kilometre, from the two assembly halls, through the “short test
  course”, to the plant’s finishing area. This is made possible by
  sensors installed along the route – creating the largest LIDAR
  infrastructure in Europe – and relying on an externally generated
  environment model and an external movement planner. Regardless of the
  vehicle's equipment options, this system controls its automated
  movements, using state-of-the-art cloud architecture. Parts of the
  technology were provided by the young Swiss company Embotech AG, which
  the BMW Group already cooperated with in the early stages through its
  venture client unit, the BMW START-UP Garage.</p>
<p>Plant Leipzig plans to introduce automated driving for around 90
  percent of the BMW and MINI models built there, with Plants Regensburg
  and Oxford set to follow in 2025. The new site in Debrecen, Hungary,
  will also implement this technology from the official launch of series production.</p>
<p>Going forward, the BMW Group plans to expand its use of Automated
  Driving In-Plant to other areas of production, such as for driving
  through the testing zone and in outdoor distribution areas. Production
  and development experts are also working closely together to refine
  the technology in-house. Another key factor in expanding the
  technology is the increasing use of on-board technology, which will
  support the external sensors in the long term.</p>
<p>“Over the next ten years, we will log several million test kilometres
  with Automated Driving In-Plant in our production network alone,” says
  Nedeljković. “In this way, the BMW Group is once again setting a new
  benchmark for automation and digitalisation of its production
  processes – while paving the way for future applications in the field
  of autonomous driving.”</p><div class="import-contacts-wrapper"><div class="import-contact">Press Contact: Jeroen Lissens<br>Tel: +32-3-890-9708<br>e-mailadres: <a href="mailto:jeroen.lissens@bmw.be">jeroen.lissens@bmw.be</a></div></div></div>]]></description><category><![CDATA[Locations,Press Release,Research &amp; Development,Production,Production Plants,Automated Driving]]></category>

  <strong>Munich.</strong> BMW is the first carmaker in the world to
  receive approval for a combination of a Level 2 driving assistance
  system (the BMW Highway Assistant) and a Level 3 system in the form of
  the BMW Personal Pilot L3 in the same vehicle. The new BMW 7 Series
  therefore sets a milestone in the field of automated driving by
  offering a unique opportunity to enjoy the benefits of both systems in
  the same car.<br />
  <br />
  <strong>BMW Highway Assistant (Level 2): greater comfort on long
  journeys.<br /></strong>This advanced Level 2 feature enhances comfort
  significantly on long-distance journeys especially thanks to its
  ability to operate at speeds up to 130 km/h (81 mph). The BMW Highway
  Assistant is an additional function of the Steering and Lane Control
  Assistant that can be used on motorways with structurally separated
  carriageways. On such stretches of road, the driver is able to take
  their hands off the steering wheel for longer periods and position
  them comfortably, provided they continue to pay attention to what is
  happening on the road and are able to take over the steering again at
  any time.<br />
  <br />While driving in partially automated mode, the BMW 7 Series
  Sedan is also able to make lane changes without the driver having to
  take hold of the steering wheel again. This is made possible by the
  Active Lane Change Assistant, which performs the necessary steering
  movements for the overtaking manoeuvre and adjusts the vehicle’s speed
  as required as soon as the traffic situation permits. Plus, the driver
  is able to initiate a lane change suggested by this system by simply
  looking in the exterior mirror to confirm it.<br />
  <br />
  <strong>BMW Personal Pilot (Level 3): allowing other in-car activities
    in traffic jams.<br /></strong>Highly automated Level 3 driving
  means drivers can take their hands off the steering wheel and
  temporarily turn their attention away from the road. The BMW Personal
  Pilot L3 feature in the 7 Series offers a whole new driving experience
  by enabling drivers to fully delegate the task of driving to their car
  under certain conditions at speeds up to 60 km/h (37 mph) and look
  away from the road. Highly automated systems are capable of completely
  taking over the driving in specific situations, e.g. in traffic jams
  on the motorway. This even lets drivers carry out other in-car
  activities, such as making phone calls, reading, writing messages,
  working or streaming videos. However, the driver must always be
  prepared to reassume control within a few seconds when prompted by the
  car, for example when there are roadworks.<br />
  <br />The combination of all these driving assistance systems within a
  single vehicle represents a significant advance and offers a
  comprehensive set of functionalities for a more comfortable, more
  relaxing drive over both long and short journeys. “We are setting new
  standards in the automotive industry by combining both technologies in
  the new BMW 7 Series,” says Dr. Mihiar Ayoubi, Senior Vice President
  Driving Experience BMW Group. “In the process, we are underlining our
  commitment to offering our customers a safe, comfortable and
  innovative driving experience.”<br />
  <br />The BMW Highway Assistant and Driving Assistant Professional are
  both part of the optional BMW Personal Pilot L3, which is available
  exclusively in Germany priced at € 6,000 (incl. VAT). Drivers of cars
  equipped with the optional BMW Personal Pilot L3 that have already
  been delivered will be able to add the BMW Highway Assistant to its
  range of functions free of charge from 08/24.</p><div class="import-contacts-wrapper"><div class="import-contact">Press Contact: Jeroen Lissens<br>Tel: +32-3-890-9708<br>e-mailadres: <a href="mailto:jeroen.lissens@bmw.be">jeroen.lissens@bmw.be</a></div></div></div>]]></description><category><![CDATA[Press Release,Research &amp; Development,Mobility of the future,Driver Assistance,Automated Driving]]></category>

  <p>
    <strong>Las Vegas.</strong> The in-car digital experience of both
    the present day and the future is the dominant theme of the BMW
    Group’s presence at CES 2024. New infotainment products for the
    current BMW model portfolio will be shown at the event. At the same
    time, the BMW Group is demonstrating innovative development projects
    that offer a glimpse into the future. Visitors can teleoperate a BMW
    iX and guide it around the Silver Lot on the exhibition site,
    discover as a passenger the potential offered by augmented reality
    glasses during a journey and experience a new generative AI
    capability of the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant powered by the
    Alexa large language model (LLM), enabling quick answers and how-to
    responses on vehicle features.<br />
    <br />“BMW is synonymous with both the ultimate driving machine and
    the ultimate digital experience,” says Frank Weber, Member of the
    Board of Management responsible for BMW Group Development. “At the
    CES we are showing more content, more customisation and more gaming.
    This is all underpinned by our powerful, in-house developed BMW
    Operating System. And we will take a look to the future, of course,
    with perfectly integrated augmented reality and strong, reliable
    artificial intelligence at the interaction between human and machine.” <br />
    <br />
    <br />
    <strong>BMW Operating System 9 makes it possible: new gaming
      experiences from the ConnectedDrive Store in 2024.<br />
      <br /></strong>The optional “BMW Digital Premium” offering allows
    BMW customers with BMW Operating System 9 to access an extended
    range of products from the BMW ConnectedDrive Store. As well as
    on-demand functions for the vehicle, the store also offers an
    ever-evolving selection of third-party apps in the categories music
    & audio, news & magazines and gaming for the infotainment
    system. More games are now being made available via this channel for
    in-car enjoyment. And occupants will also be able to play using
    proper <strong>gaming controllers</strong> in future. BMW is
    presenting this new form of gaming experience for the first time at
    CES 2024. For example, “Beach Buggy Racing 2” offers customers an
    action-packed racing game that evokes memories of the great console
    classics. Two players in the vehicle can compete against one another
    in split-screen mode using their gaming controllers. Any standard
    gaming controller with Bluetooth capability can be connected to the
    infotainment system in just a few steps. The controller link-up will
    be made available over the air for BMW Operating System 9 during 2024.<br />
    <br />The AirConsole App already lets BMW customers play single and
    multiplayer games in their car. The “casual games” offered are easy
    to pick up for anyone; the user’s smartphone serves as a controller,
    allowing simple control of gameplay that is quick to learn.
    Additions are constantly being made to the choice of games in the
    in-car AirConsole App.<br />
    <br />BMW Digital Premium is optionally available for models with
    BMW Operating System 9 and can be obtained from the ConnectedDrive
    Store either online, in the MyBMW App or directly from the car. BMW
    Digital Premium allows customers to enjoy in-car use of all the apps
    available in their country as well as covering the necessary data
    usage. And the package offers more besides, including enhanced
    navigation functions and added customisation options.<br />
    <br />
    <br />
    <strong>Top entertainment – with the Video App in BMW Operating
      Systems 8.5 and 9.<br />
      <br /></strong>In addition to the BMW Theatre Screen with Amazon
    Fire TV built-in in the rear compartment of the BMW 7 Series, BMW
    customers are now able to watch a variety of video content on the
    central display too*. The already very succesful TiVo operating
    system for smart TVs was optimised for in-car video streaming in the
    space of just a few months by developers from the BMW Group working
    together with XPERI Inc. The result is the integration of the DTS
    AutoStage Video Service powered by TiVo. The entertainment programme
    comprises both live channels and on-demand media libraries covering
    the categories news, sport, entertainment for kids, movies and TV series.</p>
  <p>First launched in the new BMW 5 Series, the platform will now be
    rolled out to further executive and luxury models over the air**.
    Since the end of 2023, customers driving compact models with BMW
    Operating System 9 have also been able to access the Video App with
    BMW Digital Premium. These will be followed by further models over
    the course of 2024, such as the BMW X2 and all models in the new
    MINI family.<br />
    <br />The Video App is currently accessible in the USA, UK, South
    Korea, France, Italy, Germany and Spain, and will soon be coming to
    Japan. A number of portals are available internationally, including
    Pluto TV, Bloomberg, TED, Yahoo! and Chili. These are accompanied by
    market-specific streaming services:</p>
  <ul>
    <li>Germany: JOYN, ZDF, tagesschau, Deutsche Welle.</li>
    <li>Italy: RaiPlay</li>
    <li>France: TF1</li>
    <li>USA: Tubi, Gusto TV, Journy</li>
    <li>Japan: Hulu Japan, NHK Plus, NTV NEWS NNN, TVer, WOWOW </li></ul>
  <p>The portfolio of video streaming platforms will keep expanding and
    will be gradually rolled out to other countries.<br />
    <br />
    <br />
    <strong>Ready for the wearables of the future – enhanced driving
      experience with XREAL Air 2 augmented reality glasses.<br />
      <br /></strong>The CES show also sees the BMW Group demonstrate
    for the first time how augmented reality (AR) glasses are set to
    enrich the driving experience in future. Visitors can test the
    possible uses of AR glasses for themselves on a drive through Las
    Vegas. Wearing the glasses, they can see how navigation
    instructions, hazard warnings, entertainment content, information on
    charging stations and supporting visualisations in parking
    situations are embedded perfectly into the real-world environment by
    the “XREAL Air 2”. AR and mixed reality (MR) devices will become
    increasingly popular in the next few years, thanks to technological
    advances and entry-level models that are more affordable for
    customers. In future, AR and MR devices will be able to offer both
    drivers and passengers enhanced information and enjoyable
    experiences to complement the displays fitted in the vehicle.<br />
    <br />The BMW Group has been working on the development of AR/MR
    technology since 2008 and investigating possible applications for
    head-mounted displays in research projects. The BMW engineers,
    together with their development partners, have now succeeded in
    showing stable augmented reality and mixed reality content to
    passengers in a dynamically moving vehicle for the first time. The
    displayed image remains securely embedded in the environment even in
    challenging driving situations, such as when turning, driving over
    large bumps or accelerating. To achieve this, the tracking system of
    the AR/MR device in question has to be linked to the vehicle’s
    sensor data.<br />
    <br />The BMW Group has consistently built up its pool of experience
    with AR/MR devices over the years and presented the results to the
    public. These include the initial <a href="https://newsroom.bmwgroup.com/global/en">MINI
      Augmented Vision project (2015)</a>, the collaboration with Meta
    Reality Labs (2022 & 2023), the <a href="https://newsroom.bmwgroup.com/global/en">ConnectedRide
      Smartglasses from BMW Motorrad</a> and the <a href="https://www.bmw-m.com/en/fastlane/driving-experience/bmw-m-mixed-reality.html">M
      Mixed Reality Driving Experience</a>. The Augmented View function
    in current BMW and MINI models shows drivers a live video stream on
    the display that is augmented with additional information for
    optimum guidance when using the navigation system. In the area of
    highly innovative, vehicle-related XR applications, the BMW Group
    has filed patents for almost 70 inventions from its developers in
    recent years.<br />
    <br />“Thanks to the recent research collaborations with Meta
    Reality Labs and XREAL, we have made considerable progress in our
    preparations for integrating external XR devices into our driving
    experience in production models. We are proud to be leading the way
    here and are well prepared to offer our customers breathtaking XR
    experiences in the future,” says Peter Lehnert, Vice President
    Research, New Technologies and Innovations Digital Car at the BMW Group.<br />
    <br />“We are thrilled at the prospect of being able to digitally
    embellish the real world by combining car tech with AR tech,”
    comments Peng Jin, co-founder of XREAL. "And this could lead to
    entirely new experiences while travelling by car and open up new
    potential for AR tech.”<br />
    <br />The BMW Group has successfully carried out pioneering work on
    digital technologies in the past – such as vehicle access using the
    BMW Digital Key – and has been a driving force behind the
    industry-wide standardisation of such innovations. The company is
    open to collaboration with further partners in the area of AR/MR
    too. The goal here is to establish an industry standard for
    connecting the CE industry’s XR devices with vehicles.<br />
    <br />Development demo: BMW voice assistant becomes the ultimate
    vehicle expert with the help of the Alexa Large Language Model (LLM).<br />
    <br />At CES, the BMW Group and Amazon showcase <strong>voice
      assistant LLM capabilities </strong>based on a current development
    project that the companies are working on in preparation for a
    potential series rollout<strong>. </strong>This makes the BMW
    Intelligent Personal Assistant the ultimate vehicle expert thanks to
    generative AI that is powered by the Alexa LLM. At CES, visitors
    experience how the voice assistant provides quick instructions and
    answers about vehicle functions in a much more human,
    conversation-like manner, while at the same time being able to
    control some vehicle functions.<br />
    <br />The BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant has been using
    artificial intelligence for speech processing for a long time and
    this demo is the latest proof point of the continued innovation BMW
    and its partners are bringing to customers. Complex processing
    capabilities, which enable human-like interactions and dialogs, have
    not yet been integrated into BMW series vehicles. Such capabilities
    are now made possible by LLMs, which are AI models that are designed
    to process human language at a high level and generate responses
    accordingly. The BMW Group is also taking careful steps to build a
    safe and trusted experience for customers, and continues to test and
    iterate these LLM capabilities over time with its partners.<br />
    <br />Since the introduction of the first BMW Intelligent Personal
    Assistant in 2018, language interaction has been an essential part
    of BMW iDrive. Today, the voice assistant gives customers control
    over many vehicle functions so that they can keep their hands on the
    wheel and their eyes on the road. Leveraging Amazon’s Alexa Custom
    Assistant — a solution that is based on Alexa technology and enables
    companies to create their own customized voice assistant — the
    next-generation of the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant will soon
    become more powerful over the course of the year in vehicles with
    BMW Operating System 9.<br />
    <br />
    <br />
    <strong>Joint development project with Valeo paves the way for
      teleoperated valet parking.<br />
      <br /></strong>The BMW Group and Valeo have entered a strategic
    partnership to work on the joint development of next-generation
    automated Level 4 parking solutions. This includes the development
    of solutions for automated valet parking (AVP). Here, the customer
    leaves their vehicle in a designated drop-off area. The vehicle then
    searches for a vacant parking space itself, manoeuvres into the
    space and later exits it again, and can even drive back to the
    pick-up area for collection by the driver. Either an autonomous
    driving system or a teleoperated valet system can be used as the
    underlying technology for this.<br />
    <br />CES 2024 visitors will have the opportunity to try out
    teleoperated valet parking for themselves. Teleoperation offers
    complete control in situations that could be very challenging for
    fully autonomous systems, such as in complex or unfamiliar environments.</p>
  <p>The teleoperator uses sophisticated technology and live camera
    images to guide and move the vehicle so that it can be parked and
    retrieved again in a carefully controlled manner. Possible future
    applications for this technology could include parking at events, at
    airports or in the logistics sector.<br />

  <strong>Munich.</strong> Level 3 highly automated driving, which
  allows drivers to take their hands off the steering wheel and
  temporarily divert their attention away from the road, will soon be
  available in the new BMW 7 Series. <strong>BMW Personal Pilot</strong>
  <strong>L3 </strong>is the name of the new function that relieves the
  person at the wheel of the task of driving in certain situations and
  controls the car’s speed, distance to the vehicle ahead and lane
  positioning for them. This new option can be ordered <strong>for the
    new BMW 7 Series</strong> (excluding the i7 eDrive50 and i7 M70
  xDrive)* from December to be fitted in vehicles from next March.</p>
<p>Designed to assume the entire task of driving with <strong>Level 3
    capability as defined by the Society of Automotive Engineers
  (SAE)</strong>, thehighly automated driving function will be offered
  exclusively in Germany priced at 6,000 euros (incl. VAT).</p>
<p>This innovative technology allows drivers to redirect their focus to
  other in-vehicle activities when travelling at up to 60 km/h (37 mph)
  on motorways with structurally separated carriageways. Thanks to its
  particularly sophisticated sensors, this is the first system of its
  kind that can also be used in the dark.</p>
<p>The introduction of Level 3 functionality in BMW 7 Series models will
  make the <strong>BMW Group the first carmaker to offer not just a
    Level 2 driving function in its product portfolio, but also a Level
    3 function</strong> where the <strong>hands can be taken off the
    steering wheel </strong>and positioned comfortably. The <strong>BMW
    Highway Assistant </strong>already offers a highly innovative
    <strong>SAE Level 2</strong> partially automated driving function
    <strong>in all new BMW 5 Series models</strong>. The package also
  includes a unique feature in the form of the Active Lane Change
  Assistant with eye confirmation. This function is primarily designed
  for use over long-distance journeys in the new <strong>BMW
  5 Series</strong>, allowing the driver to adopt an extremely relaxed
  posture behind the steering wheel. When travelling at up to 130 km/h
  (81 mph), this additional function of the Steering and Lane Control
  Assistant can take control over the car’s speed, the distance to the
  vehicle in front and the car’s steering.</p>
<p>The crucial difference between Level 2 and Level 3 is that with Level
  2 (partially automated driving) responsibility continues to lie with
  the driver at all times. Whenever the <strong>BMW Highway Assistant
  </strong>is in use,drivers must watch what is happening on the road
  and be able to take over the task of driving again at all times. This
  is continuously monitored using an intelligent attentiveness camera.</p>
<p>The <strong>BMW Personal Pilot L3</strong> for Level 3 highly
  automated driving in the BMW 7 Series gives drivers the option of
  concentrating on <strong>secondary in-vehicle activities</strong> away
  from what is happening on the road. In a BMW 7 Series with the BMW
  Personal Pilot L3 activated, customers will be able to <strong>edit
  e-mails</strong>, for example, or engage more deeply in telephone
  calls while travelling at up to 60 km/h (37 mph). They can also use
    <strong>digital services for e.g. streaming videos from various
  providers</strong> on the central display during a journey. This makes
  the new BMW Personal Pilot L3 the ideal solution for making good use
  of time spent in slow-moving traffic or tailbacks during daily
  motorway commutes.</p>
<p>Symbols appear on the display behind the steering wheel as
  appropriate to indicate whether the <strong>BMW Personal Pilot
  L3</strong> is available. It is activated and deactivated by a button
  on the steering wheel. When the function is being used, the customer
  still has to be ready to reassume the task of driving at any time –
  i.e. as soon as the situation on the road requires them to or the
  stretch of road suitable for using the BMW Personal Pilot L3 comes to
  an end. Visual and acoustic signals let the driver know they have to
  take over control once more. If the driver does not respond as
  required, the vehicle is brought to a controlled standstill.</p>
<p>The live HD map with precise routes is permanently aligned with
  extremely accurate GPS location-finding and works with 360° sensors to
  ensure exact positioning and monitoring of the area around the
  vehicle. The live HD map is always up to the minute thanks to regular
  updates. In the new BMW 7 Series, this functionality is underpinned
  technologically by a new software stack, a powerful computing platform
  and a 5G link-up to the BMW Cloud. Besides the cameras, vehicles
  specified with the BMW Personal Pilot L3 are also fitted with
  latest-generation ultrasonic sensors and radar sensors and a
    <strong>highly sensitive 3D lidar sensor</strong> for monitoring the
  area around the vehicle and the situation on the road.</p>
<p>This package of technology means that the <strong>BMW Personal Pilot
  L3</strong> works very reliably even in the dark. These various
  qualities are unmatched by any rival. SAE Level 3 automated driving
  helps improve both comfort and safety on public roads.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>*The BMW Personal Pilot L3 is only available in conjunction with the
  relevant BMW Connected Drive services. The period of validity for

  <strong>De BMW Group heeft opnieuw experts in de ontwikkeling van
    software geselecteerd waardoor het netwerk van partners verder wordt
    versterkt. Het doel van de samenwerking met KPIT en TTTech is om de
    ontwikkeling van een Autonoom Rijplatform verder te zetten en samen
    te werken aan de ontwikkeling van de functies in niveau 3 en niveau
    4/5 (automatisch piloot op de snelweg en in een stedelijke omgeving).</strong></p>

<ul>
  <li>In teaming up with KPIT and TTTech, the BMW Group has chosen
    software partners with a global footprint and proven expertise in
    the development of both software platforms and autonomous driving technologies.</li>
  <li>The partners will be able to assist with rolling out the software
    stack within the Autonomous Driving Platform to third parties,
    thereby facilitating access for OEMs.</li></ul>
<p>
  <strong>Munich.</strong> The BMW Group has once again selected expert
  software development partners, further consolidating its partner
  network in the process. The aim of the collaboration with KPIT and
  TTTech is to press ahead with the scalable Autonomous Driving Platform
  and to work together on the development of Level 3 and Level 4/5
  functions (Highway Pilot and Urban Pilot). This move bolsters the BMW
  Group’s development resources for automated driving and represents
  another step forward in its quest to expand the platform’s ecosystem
  and establish the technology in the automotive industry.</p>
<p>KPIT and TTTech will be well positioned to help roll out the software
  stack within the Autonomous Driving Platform to third parties. This
  will make it easier to integrate other OEMs and begin offering
  scalable software solutions across the industry.</p>
<p>“Tackling this immense challenge calls for an all-embracing
  approach,” said Elmar Frickenstein, Senior Vice President Fully
  Automated Driving and Driver Assistance, BMW AG Munich. “This includes
  building strong alliances that allow us to gain valuable know-how and
  also speed things up. In order to achieve our objective in 2021, we
  are collaborating with the best technology partners in the world.”
  This explains the recent development of BMW Group partnerships in the
  field of autonomous driving.</p>
<p>Since July 2016, the BMW Group has been developing a network of
  world-leading technology partners to help expand the platform’s
  footprint. These include Intel, Mobileye, Continental, Magna, FCA,
  Aptiv and Baidu.</p><div class="import-contacts-wrapper"><div class="import-contact">Press Contact: Christophe Weerts<br>Tel: +32-3-890-9708<br>e-mailadres: <a href="mailto:christophe.weerts@bmw.be">christophe.weerts@bmw.be</a></div></div></div>]]></description><category><![CDATA[Press Release,Research &amp; Development,Mobility of the future,Driver Assistance,Automated Driving]]></category>
