Statement English 1: 360°-Obstacle-Avoidance is a safety function that prevents the driver from hitting obstacles that are static up to speeds of about 15 mph. Statement English 2: The car constantly predicts the movement of the manually driven car and determines what obstacles get closest to the car. It then has to calculate an optimal stopping movement and pursues this movement if the obstacle gets to close. Statement English 3: The safety function is permanently active while the driver is driving manually. It lets the driver into really really small parking spots and only interferes if an obstacles gets really close. Statement English 4: This system bases on a 360° surround view of the environment. It builds up constantly a map so that the system can even react to obstacles that are in blind spots of the sensors. For example, if an obstacle gets to close to the doors and there is no sensor it still can brake so you won’t have an accident right there.

Statement English 1: The BMW Remote Valet Parking Assistant takes over the task to park the vehicle in the car park. As the driver you can leave the car as soon as you are at the entrance of the car park. You can start the function with the smart watch. The vehicle then autonomously navigates through the car park and reaches a free parking lot. Statement English 2: During the whole process you can see the status of the vehicle via your smartwatch. Once you want to return to the car park you can call your vehicle via your smartwatch and it will be waiting at the exit of the car park as soon as you arrive. Statement English 3: We have developed a few core components to enable this functionality. Laserscanners monitor the vehicle’s surrounding, detect obstacles and helps the vehicle to localize itself. GPS is needed for this function. Statement English 4: Planning algorithms help the vehicle to determine the best way through the parking garage and to enable the vehicle to reach the parking lot as safely as possible. Statement English 5: We did develop this function to have minimum requirements on the parking garage only a map of the car park is required and we think a lot of car parks will enable this function pretty soon.

Statement English 1: Here at the CES in Las Vegas we want to present how our iDrive System will be developed in the future. So we will integrate a touchscreen as we observed our users are really used to interacting by touchscreens on mobile devices. They tap, they spread, they swipe and we also want to offer those possibilities to our customers. So our iDrive Controller has now in addition a touchscreen and people can also tip through the menu or always change back tot he iDrive Controller to interact as they like. So it is very easy and flexible to interact with the system. Statement English 2: In special cases also the visual presentation of the screen adapts to the modality I am using at the moment. So for number input you can see the round speller and if my finger comes closer to the screen it changes to the number pad and I can dial my number as I am used to do it on my mobile device. Statement English 3: In addition to touchscreen and controller interaction wouldn’t it be nice if our system is able to detect few hand movements and the whole thing would become a little bit magical. So we integrated a gesture space near the steering wheel and there is a camera which can detect hand movements and hand poses. Statement English 4: We don’t want any activation so there are global gestures which can be conducted comfortable and immediate. For instance we can adjust volume by rotating. Therefore we see a little graphic which shows which gesture is recognized and how it should be conducted. Statement English 5: There are also special gestures which are available in special situations. For instance when a phone call is coming in it is possible to decline it by a swipe. As you can see on the graphics on the right side it is also possible to accept the phone call by pointing in the air. Statement English 6: On the top it is possible to use gestures as personal magical shortcuts. Statement English 7: We have integrated a camera system into our rooftop. This camera recognizes hand movements as well as hand poses. If a gesture has been detected it will be handed over to the iDrive system and the associated function will be conducted.
