BMW i5 - Changing lanes with a head movement | Highway Assist Level 2+

Рет қаралды 76,029

Жыл бұрын

In this video, we explore BMW's Automated Lane Change feature, a world premiere not only for the BMW 5 Series, but for the entire industry. Watch us test the system on a French highway and see how it seamlessly changes lanes with just a head movement. No need to touch the blinkers.
We will also show you our favorite upgrade on the new BMW 5 Series: the enhanced Highway Assistant with simplified user interaction. With the push of a button and a glance down the road, the system allows you to take your hands off the wheel and even overtake the speed limit automatically.
The Highway Assist will overtake the speed limit automatically and the maximum speed in the hands-free mode is 85 miles or 135 km/h. In Germany, the standard is 130 km/h, but you can have an offset of 5 km/h, or up to 10 mph in the United States.
Plus, BMW is the first OEM to offer this feature in Germany.

What do you think of the lane changing feature?

@apw2607 Жыл бұрын

Very impressive.

@apw2607 Жыл бұрын

Anything that encourages drivers to actually look in the mirror before changing lanes, isn't a bad thing ;-)

@apw2607 Жыл бұрын

Watching the video again this is actually very clever because what they have managed to do is provide a good level of automation but at the same time ensuring that the driver remains somewhat engaged because they will need to look in their mirrors (and blindspot warning notification) to take advantage of the automatic lane changing capabilities. This is far better than having to mess around with indicator sticks, etc. It appears to make the whole experience rather seamless.

Another gimmick to make up for terrible driving dynamics (for a BMW). Zero steering feel and huge body roll.

I’ve always loved the 5 series and so far it looks like the new models will be really nice and a guaranteed hit. I’m really interested in seeing the unveiling of the M560? And the M5. I kind of wished that I would of held out until the new 5 series models where available before buying a new car. I think they are the perfect size for comfort.

@Swaggon Жыл бұрын

I'm was already very pleasantly surprised with the Driving Assistant Professional in my G31 LCI 540i. It already allows you to keep your hands off the steering wheel for a bit. But this is on a whole nother level. I can't wait to test it myself and I think I already know which car I'm going for next...

@WekkelEkkel Жыл бұрын

the assistant on the G31 is still a bit unnerving. It loses track often when driving past a highway exit and it tends to go through shallow corners like a 'saw tooth' instead of picking the right line and sticking with it. Once you're used to it, the driving assistant is a nice relaxing feature. But I can't wait for a better, more confident version.

As always great review and happy that you get to be the first to handle this baby. A question pls, how do you compare the G60 to G30 when it comes to handling around corners, steering feel and ride quality? I have a 540i 2023 and very impressed with the body roll and how stiff it is on road bumps.

@bmwblog Жыл бұрын

Too early to tell. This was an electric version, so very different. But as far as body roll, very good, slightly only. And pretty stiff on the road. I tried both the steel and the air suspension.

Seems amazing. But if these cars are not more efficient than a Tesla then there is no point in getting one.

@kenny.gabriel.2 Жыл бұрын

Tesla had lots of time to manage and fine tune efficiency. They are only EV producing so I expect them to lead in efficiency. With BMW and others who started with ICE vehicles and introduced EVs into their fleet, I think efficiency will evolve. I think there is a point still in purchasing a BMW (Merc, Audi, etc.) despite efficiency not being on the same level as Tesla. That distinguishable point is luxury and legacy. I have both a Tesla Model S and M550i and at this time I still choose my M550i every time.
