BMW i3: Parking Assistant Demo in a Real City

[@fahadalsaud3506]

Thanks for taking the time to share. Considering a purchase of a preowned i3.

[@lynnsingleton1500]

LOL, love it! I purchased mine in March and never quite found the time to read the manual. Thanks greatly. I'm in San Francisco as well and no doubt this will come in handy.

[@clarkinthedark1]

That was fantastic! Thank you for making this video!

[@fabianlazarte7465]

You definitely didn't drive in SF.

[@antonytj2003]

Thank you for the video

[@RudyBaroudi]

Just ordered mine yesterday and after watching the video I called the dealer and asked them to add the Park Assist package.

[@GoingShirtless]

I like you shoes. The parking assitant is nice too :) Looking to get a facelifted i3 this summer and was curious about the self-parking feature. This is like the world of tomorrow - but today!

[@dutchjim66]

Thank you for this video.It explained Parking Assistant well.

[@sassynlovely]

I can't wait to get mine! This is the most awesome feature! Because I am the world's worst parker!

[@GoingShirtless]

Wait What? You made this in 2014? I must have been living under a rock as I thought this was a new thing. Feel slightly embarrassed now :D

[@TheQUBANQT]

Thanks for filming this!

[@AIRStudio-AngelRiveros]

I just got a used 2014 ! cant wait to check it out... i am not sure if it comes with it

[@ALTN8NRG]

Dude, that rocks!

[@Godophobe]

Thanks for this, Mark! I'm collecting my i3 today, so this really helped. Thought you were Phillip Seymour Hoffman to begin with though! ;-)

[@tsmith682]

I can't wait to get mines

[@Jim181059]

Good video - thanks. Next time it would be good to get a shot of the space you park in from outside of the car.

[@AIRStudio-AngelRiveros]

omg!!! love it !

[@JodBronson]

Nice Awesome!

[@Underhills]

So does it get you out of the spot in the same manner?

[@shaunsamuels7070]

FUTURE!!!!!!!

[@FidelKastrat]

this is really amazing! but what is the car doing if there is a free parking on the left side?

[@stumbledotcom]

It looks for open spaces on both sides. You use the turn signal to tell it whether to go for the left or right.

[@FidelKastrat]

yes, but there is traffic! it has to cross the road. is he doing it automatically as well?

[@FilipeFerro]

FidelKastrat That's exactly what I was thinking... my guess is that it will ask you to drive closer to the parking space first...?

[@stumbledotcom]

While the vehicle looks for open spots on both sides, that left-right functionality is for small or one-way streets. The system parks based on the direction of travel. Not intended to cross a lane and go the other way.

[@Dave23547]

That is parallel parking. Will it back-up park into a vertical position?

[@stumbledotcom]

No. But the rear camera and obstacle indicators are helpful in that case.

[@davidcrout3224]

+Dave Zykerman Only the new 7 Series will do perpendicular parking.

[@lockedarren]

Wow. This was so long ago!

[@stumbledotcom]

You’re old. 😜

[@bballsniper]

is this part of the technology package?

[@stumbledotcom]

No. BMW USA offers it as the Parking Assistant Package.

[@yllisahiti5863]

Hello Gordon !

[@nuothe11th]

I noticed the demo parked you in front of an apron - is the car smart enough to know not to park in front of people's driveways?

[@trilobyte3851]

So much easier just to find a hotel or a restaurant with valets...

[@Dggb2345]

I hope the car behind you stops. In real world LA if you see a space and pull up front to back in or classic parallel Park one of two things will happen. 1. Car in back will pull up right on you ass and not move or 2. The car behind will nose into your spot. That’s the World I know. This system is amazing but useless unless in the real world.

[@Tracid320si]

1:05 thank me later

[@marklola12]

takes too long for me I can do it much better and not hold up traffic, also don't try doing it when there is a lamppost or something on the curb nearer the edge as the car smashes into it llol
