this will be helpful while I scroll through 4 screens to access the air controls

Glad they're focused on not just making a good AEB system, but one that isn't so damn annoying and is good at knowing when it actually needs to intervene.

[@richardsontwain6283]

With all the touch screens they are adding, they are the ones creating a "distracted driver", hopefully this feature comes standard.

[@yourspineandbrain4805]

Keep hoping lol.

[@MegaGyalis]

No fam, just no… I don’t understand why people try so hard to dodge accountability…

[@gustolferson962]

And this why I love BMW! ❤ They are like the Apple of cars world. They make new technology and or technology that is already but enhances the the technology for the driver to make there ultimate driving machine! Have been BMW fan since I was kid and saw bmw at distance and now that I am an enthusiast and owner of many of them. They my company of choice 😊

I’ve always wondered how to test some of this, including the prevention of opening doors into bicycles and scooters. We did manage to test our iX1’s “stop for a cyclist coming from the side” feature last week: even if the bike is curving to be riding alongside the car -it sees the bike coming, does the braking and highlights it on the screen. I really hope people on e-scooters don’t start relying on this to always be be available

[@ripredowski1376]

Will be buying a X4M Competition soon. Hope it comes with this feature or as an option.

[@bmwblog]

The current X4M is great

[@ahlsn7346]

This looks really good. Great working safety features with getting in the way in every day driving.

[@keithronson2624]

Impressive! BMW technology... ( Less screens, more easy to use buttons need to be reintroduced). Otherwise BMW leading the field.

[@zutp090]

Bring back buttons!

[@anthonyferrara2222]

Hopefully this is a standard feature!!!

[@user-ev2px3mi2g]

Me too

[@bmwblog]

It sounded like it is

[@SteveLoughran]

The EU is mandating “brake before you hit someone” -this is already standard on recent models. Here they’re upgrading the speeds at which they work at and adding more avoidance . What wasn’t mentioned is whether the base option will add steering as well as braking. Currently you only get that if you order the full driver assistance package-which this demo vehicle seemed to have.

[@anthonyferrara2222]

@@SteveLoughran not standard on many cars here in the USA. Glad to see it’s coming globally.

[@user-gy7cy2it4p]

So, the car stop on its own or does the driver still have to be actively be engaged?

[@bmwblog]

The car stops on its own. But BMW always says the driver is being notified before braking

[@dr3amboy3657]

Wow, a company that does real life tests with metrics instead of using it's drivers as for "beta" testing

[@QuietStormX]

Level 5???

[@bmwblog]

No

[@user-ev2px3mi2g]

The launch date is quite far

[@bmwblog]

A couple more months

[@anthonyferrara2222]

It’s a 2025 shouldn’t be that far away. This fall I hope.

More unnecessary big brother dangerous "technology"

[@bmwblog]

How is this dangerous?
