iDrive 7.0 Driver Assistance Professional with Active Cruise Control

[@dailyrant4068]

This dealership's video deserves a like. The vast majority of salesman/dealerships cannot explain it to this level to buyers

[@The19610211]

Best video of practical use of BMW driver assistance and I’ve looked at a lot of these! Well done guys 👍

[@archeron2w185]

I am surprised by the quick response of iDrive 7.0, super smooth

[@jamesholmes5970]

It works as advertised... great for long drives

[@PhilipJevin]

You don't need to hold the blinker throughout the lane change, he looked a little awkward doing so, a simple short press will do the job.

[@heindaddel2531]

Automatic lane change doesn’t work with a couple of paintings you can order.

[@lavazakoffee7373]

Which one do you have 5AR,5AT or 5AU ?

[@Bayside628]

If you’re driving on a road with faded markers suddenly, and driving assistant pro can’t see lane lines, what happens? I have a Volvo now. It gives up steering control with NO AUDIO WARNING! Extremely dangerous. Is BMW driving assistant pro on the ‘21 X3 smarter?

[@garykahrau4291]

If someone cuts into your lane, does the car slow down gently the the set distance? Or doe it do a harsh brake? Note, the car entering you lane is going at your speed or slightly faster. Acura MDX is Harsh and Audi Q7 is smooth like I was doing it myself.

[@mjar3799]

can we still have any control over the car while the automatic lane change is on?

[@BMWofFW]

of course, it will temporarily resist but the second you hold your own resistance for more than half a second it deactivates and lets you take over.

[@onlyoneperson5159]

if u havnt done so already it is very easy to freak people out with this because not alot of epople are aware or beleive this is where the tech is in 2020 i love the the feature and trust me it is way to easy to fall asllep at the wheel with this feature and wake up like wow!! lol scary but very well made so i feel safe evan tho it wasnt the intention.. to fall asleep also yes my hands were on the wheel enough to engage the steering wheels response that i was still engaged.

[@ricktobin8297]

You can lightly press your knee on the wheel and it works just fine🤣

[@barryweissglass6849]

Hi. 2 questions. So, the Light Elements feature is that the lights on the steering wheel spoke light up if one does not keep hand pressure on the wheel? Under no other circumstances? Should they both light up at the same time? Or is there any time that one will light up and the other won't? Lastly, have you been having any problems with the Driving Assistance Pro system not working in the rain? Thanks for a great video!

[@davidemmett8172]

I’ve read that there is a “medical emergency” feature as part of the driving assistant in 2020 models that puts on the hazards and pulls the car over if the driver loses consciousness - I’d assume the car would only know this by way of the driver failing to tap the wheel, or by way of the face camera some have mentioned- is this true? If you fail to touch the wheel when prompted does it simply deactivate the driving assistant, or does it actually pull over?

[@pinkdiamondz0]

I have 2020 3series, how can I turn off steer intervention?

[@BMWofFW]

I actually just made a video about this this week. It’s not live yet but here’s access to it! kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpO9nGtqgrODg9U

[@user-ti2xi9bd4u]

Honda Ciciv has this feature too if I recall correctly

[@BMWofFW]

similar but not the same... Honda Sense has a lane keeping assist and an adaptive cruise control. It doesn't provide a visualization of the surroundings, blind spot steering intervention, or auto lane change assist. It's the more eco minded version of BMW's DAP Package. - JP Dunphy

[@atheriqbal7071]

So I bought a 2022 x4 m40i with driver assistance professional pkg however it does not have a drive function in the menu. Also can u confirm if front collision avoidance is a full braking and at which speed does it work?

[@BMWofFW]

So drivers assistance professional package is primarily a highway use system that allows for lane keeping, adaptive cruise control, 3D visual representation of the driving condition and cars around (think tesla's autopilot view)., and traffic jam assistant.

[@BMWofFW]

the front collision avoidance/braking is at city speeds below 40mph.

[@seansmith9196]

My 2016 Honda Civic touring has these features standard

[@BMWofFW]

and they don't work half as well... what's your point?

[@josue0685]

Hey guys i just bought a brand new x5 with everything except for this. I was wondering is theres a way to add this to the car. Thanks

[@BMWofFW]

Unfortunately the driver assistance professional package is not available to add after assembly of the vehicle. :(

[@christianelesten6830]

I'm lacking the "Displays" setting on 2020 530e with Driving Assistant Plus but no HUD, is there any way to change the Maps view to Assisted Driving view in the Live Cockpit Pro?

[@BMWofFW]

in your idrive on the left hand side, under Car>Displays you should see an instrument panel option within that menu you should have an option for the different display options for the center of your Live Cockpit.

[@neilw8221]

A bit off topic, is it just me that finds the font of the characters on those button is so ugly?

[@acecomer98]

Are the auto lane-keeping and auto lane switching features also on 2021 BMW 330i's? Assuming it has driving assistance professional

[@BMWofFW]

Yes if it has professional it will have the lane switching feature.

[@acecomer98]

@@BMWofFW thanks!

[@FreshlySnipes]

Lane departure warning is one of the most annoying features ever. My 2020 7-series wants to correct lane changes every time when I don’t use a blinker. Nobody uses a blinker on California highways.

[@BMWofFW]

you can turn it off with the settings just push the the button that looks like a car with a green circle around it. located near the hazards :)

[@FreshlySnipes]

West German BMW thanks. I was able to turn it off in the settings. Took me a while to figure out how tho.

[@tikycz8261]

2:50 I still have no idea how u switch from each other.

[@BMWofFW]

you switch between the two by pressing the MODE button (lower 3 far right on left side of the steering wheel)

[@tikycz8261]

@@BMWofFW thank u. I found it. Have a nice day if possible ☺️

[@user975bg]

Very useful!

[@OscarBastidasPavlovitz]

BMW X3, how do I know if the X7 operative system is installed? The car has the “connected drive plus package” installed - thanks

[@BMWofFW]

Hi, the optional package itself is called live cockpit professional its available in select models 2019-present day

[@jaymenon1]

On other videos (possibly from Europe) i see there is a 'face camera' which detects whether the driver is paying attention to the road, and uses that information instead of the hand on the steering wheel. Is this option available in 2020 "Driving Assistance Professional Package" for X7 in US? or is intermittent pressure on the steering wheel the only way to satisfy the system to stay in Active Cruise? Secondly, once the Active Cruise has deactivated due to lack of pressure on steering wheel, what needs to be done to re-activate it? is it a button to be pushed or more commands than that ?

[@memajek]

the all come with it. if u look closely hes got one too :)

[@RM-fp3wh]

Hi Nicholas, I was wondering if you are a salesman as well. If you are, when I am ready, I want you to be my salesman. I will be in the market for a 2020 7 series in the near future. I am always informed as well as enjoy your video's. Good job.

[@RM-fp3wh]

Thank you for your prompt response and I am looking forward to talking with you when I come in.@@BMWofFW

[@rigo6156]

lane departure assistance is a bad idea if you drive recklessly like a maniac

[@BMWofFW]

Truth

[@veoteveo1]

you said things that you did not say how to set them....re-view and listen

[@Racedoc]

I’m yet to trust these features. I don’t even turn them on 😅

[@BMWofFW]

Give them a shot

[@angeltodorov5918]

if you need all of that... you don't need to be driving.

[@BMWofFW]

you should see Highway Assistant in action

[@ciroromer7380]

Its so stupid to do these so fast. Not even an expert can follow you. terrible

[@BMWofFW]

Was there a section that you missed that you’d like us to do more in-depth or slower on? If so just let us know.

[@SoulOfTech]

I followed along just fine. Did you want him to make a 2 hour long video on basic functions?

[@Farly98]

KZbin allows you to rewatch videos or slow them down, by the way

[@de_stroyed]

How to drive without ever putting your hands on the steering wheel: Get one of those stress balls that you use to squeeze with your hands and wedge it on the corner of the steering wheel. Trust me... it'll work. not admitting to anything, lol......

[@dailyrant4068]

It's just hacking the system and if it crashes it's your own fault. This is the reason why you see Tesla crashes and what not, people not using the system as intended (no, not how Elon Musk describes it but what the manual actually tells you to do) These systems are meant to be level 2 autonomous driving, which are ASSISTANCE (BMW accurately terms the system without inflating the meaning for marketing purposes, kudos to them)

[@de_stroyed]

@@dailyrant4068 I'm well aware that it isn't a driver replacement but manufacturers like BMW are confident enough to roll stuff like this out which means that it's pretty safe to use. They put code into the system to keep reminding you to put your hands on the steering wheel so for the slight chance a collision occurs whilst using the system, they can't be sued and use the "putting your hands on the steering wheel warning" as part of their many evidence that it shouldn't replace the driver's awareness and it's the drivers responsibility. The cameras are monitoring your eyes anyway in this car, you shouldn't be nagged to touch the steering wheel every few seconds, it just gets annoying. Touching the steering wheel every few seconds doesn't make using the system any more safer, they just do it for legality reasons.

[@memajek]

@@de_stroyed easier way, just lower the steering wheel close to ur knees. it will pick up the pressure. no need for hands then. ur welcome lol

[@de_stroyed]

@@memajek Why use your knees? Using your knees may cause strain as you have to lift up your legs. My idea is much more relaxing.
