BMW i4 Driver Assist Features Evaluated 

Seems like the type that would own that car. Or its ICE version.

Glad you enjoyed it

I4 and iX3 Adas Systems are identical in relative to hardware / Sensors … both from 2018, SW might be different, also depending on trim. The tested package appears to be the top trim, since it includes overtaking / lane changing. Would be interesting to compare i4 and iX, the latter is to my knowledge the only BMW with a SP 2021 Hardware Setup. SP = Service Pack. SP 2018 is older EQ4 Mobileye Processor, where as SP 2021 is current generation Mobileye EQ5 plus additional Intel and Infineon SOCs and MCU.

Yes

You can turn it off for $4.99 a month 😜

@@FeiraxIS350 You can also not choose to buy it

Glad you think so!

Nah BMW i4 vids are awesome

4680 is too unimpressive, so they hope you just forget about it. ;-)

Thanks for watching, Madeline!

Thanks for watching, Alton!

Apples and Oranges. FSD is a beta product which will stay L2. BMW has an upcoming L2+ system coming this year similar/superior than FSD and an L3 coming next year. Both also in Beta, but not publicly available for customers.

@@victorfrombcn please come back when you have watched this video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YhbrCppGoXY.html BMWs can maybe perhaps possibly change lanes while Teslas can drive for an hour through towns. BMW will never catch up to this. Its always the same story. Tesla is miles ahead and other companies who are desperately trying to catch up, and when you mention how far ahead Tesla is you ALWAYS come back with "Apples and oranges". I am laughing.

@@victorfrombcn Good to know. Is the i4 equipped to accept and use an update to the L3 software? Thanks!

@@rbassdo No, the i4 won’t support L3. L3 requirements are very high in terms of computing power, sensor array and redundancy. That’s also the reason Tesla FSD will never be L3. There are strict ASIL requirements that Tesla will never meet, specially with the Tesla Vision only-camera setup on their Model 3s and Model Ys. For BMW I expect the i7 and iX to be the first to support L3 driving.

@@PatrikSteal Thanks for the video. I’ve watched it fully. I’m still not impressed. The car has managed to switch lanes, stop a traffic lights, and join a highway with some support from the driver. However it’s all done in ideal conditions and without full responsibility. (L2). The car cannot guarantee at any moment that is capable independently of driving the vehicle and face any unexpected emergency situation. I know as well that Tesla Vision is incapable of distinguishing far away objects, and still confuses rain with some background trees. And what about foggy or rainy conditions? Or the max speed ? Those are situations where that system is heavily limited. I don’t want to fully dismiss it, because it’s great that Tesla makes it available to customers. However it’s no L3 and will never be. It’s impossible.

The car obviously wouldn't change the lane and wait for the other car to disappear. I don't think it would speed up or down to change the lane. So worst case you'll never change lane if the car doesn't disappear.

NVIDIA/Mobile eye or possibly Another. ONE clue is BMW ADAS is LIMITED to certain streches of road where its pre mapped. its is not a Generalized AI neural net like TESLA.

BMW drivers never use the indicators anyway 😂

Exactly. Lots of shared parts

Simply DELETE the gas car Design, LEAN Design the BEV w/ CLEAN SHEET Approach. car would then be SAFER and more EFFICIENT & Lighter Weight.

@@markplott4820 why should they delete the BMW design? That would be utterly stupid. It looks like a BMW, it's easier and cheaper for BMW to produce ICE /EVs parallel on one production line. They did everything right.

@@computercrack Its not cheaper to run a mixed line. Look at the difference in margin on a maxed production line at Tesla. ROIC shows you have to bite the bullet and invest in your line if you want profitable company into the future: Tesla 22.74% - BMW 5.35%!

@@computercrack - BMW is too SLOW, too Short RANGE , too HEAVY and Really INEFFICIENT. thats why . Everything Improves when you use GIGACASTINGS and Structural battery pack and even BETTER with Clyndrical Battery cells , both RIVIAN and LUCID use them. even Better IF you can cast the WHOLE car body in a Gigacast. for now we just have 3 part Underbody w/ 2 castings . the Structural battery is like BRICKS , helps w/ Handeling and 50/50 weight .

I am of the opposite opinion.

@@My_HandleIs_ i feel u

@@My_HandleIs_ Yeah it’s got a bit of hilarity to it as well

@@My_HandleIs_ You can turn it off. No problem. Than you have one of the qiutest car on the market. Not a wind engine noise beside your ear like Tesla for example.

I believe the engine noise is a requirement from the federal government (NHTSA)

Of course you can deactivate the sound inside the car. Outside warning for pedestrians can't be deactivated but shouldn't be hear able inside.

@@zombiegun71 to the outside of the car is mandatory up to 25mph(?) or so… but to the inside, that’s just pure garbage, hope you can turn that off.

@@bsl2501 ah, gotcha. Makes sense

BMW may be criticized for using a half-assed shared platform but they did the right thing, staying away from that joke of a yoke.

It can be turned off. Better than fart noises like Tesla does.

No a lot of people like me think it's a good idea even I do prefer EVs over ICEs.

@@SuperHumhum Those are silly game features, not something it's doing by default.

@@moreliberty1 As far as I know, the sounds are only in sport mode by default. Not in the normal mode. But everything is adjustable.

@@SuperHumhum Good to know it can be disabled. It's really embarrassing for a BEV to make such noise in the cabin.

Years later those poor folks started to add chrome trims to their cars. The wheel keeps turning.

It actually is as efficient as a Model 3 with more range. Check Teslabjorn videos.

The car has a movable steering column 100%. He probably just likes the driving position that way although its not ideal for the line of sight to the instrument cluster

He said in the video he liked the steering position. He can change it but will get a less comfortable steering position.

@@computercrack Yes, that is what he said.

You're welcome!

I've been able to use this driving assistant up to 210 kph in a German Autobahn. It works flawlessly.

TESLA tests for BEYOND 5 star crash safety and TESTS for edge cases that IIHS+ and NHTSA ignore. MODEL Y was built from the Ground up to be a 6 star car.

That’s exactly why BMW have a step down mode in the pedal to override any speed limit. It’s a safety feature.

strictly for Parking assist , not for use when Driving like TESLA .

@@markplott4820 sure, but the likelihood of that camera getting hit while a valet is parking or damaged by pebbles on the freeway or other issues is pretty high in that location. Maybe I’m wrong, it was just my initial reaction when I saw how exposed it is.

Tesla charges $1500 for red paint. Did that make you howl?

That is nothing. Porsche paints a car in any colour of your choice, its like a 10.000$ option. Or colour of choice "plus" is 17-20thousand $ where Porsche develops a colour according to a sample colour you provide.

Most folks get the whole primate / genus / species thing mixed up. Whatever one thinks it looks like there is ONE thing in common; it looks stupid.

Deactivate it then

Yes it can

In my experience, the follow distance in mainland Europe is usually higher than in the US. There's a heck of a lot of rear end 'domino' collisions in the US due to so few people keeping a good follow distance. :) Of course it should be the same worldwide really, a car can stop just as fast or slow on asphalt in the EU or US.

@@VoxelLoop I observed in the US, especially outside New York City is, is that people just won’t pay attention at all. I have seen crashes happen in slow Mo, one person changing lanes on a 5 Lane Highway without looking, the other person honking, and over what seems like a minute or two they slowly slowly crash into each other. I spent 12 years living in the Boston area, so I do have some experience, also driving in California in the Midwest. Let’s just say this: if you change lanes in the Midwest that way you’ll change lanes in Germany, France, or Italy, people will honk at you and have a heart attack. The “processor speed” it’s just so much lower, but that is fine, I don’t mind the relax driving, as long as people pay attention. Every place has its own style. When I go to Eataly with my car, I switch off collision detect all together, The wise I wouldn’t manage driving through a roundabout without slowing down traffic in general. After moving back to Europe after 12 years, it took me a month or so to reassess my clock speed and have more confidence and other drivers.

Deactivate it then!

Until your passengers get nauseous after a sharp acceleration. Been there, done that. Not fun for them

Well, it's still more advanced than the one Tesla has.

@@SuperHumhum Tesla can do much more but you’ll have to pay (dearly) for it.

@@Conservator. No they can't. Even if you pay. A Tesla can't start and stop automatically on traffic lights, engage the driving assistant automatically after a lane change, have a tolerance in speed limits (like add +6 on speed limits), show in how many miles a speed limit change appears. Tech wise, a Tesla has no radar which causes all sorts of problems (vision only was a huge mistake, hence the new ones are going back to radar systems), a Tesla has no capacitive steering wheel. Having to wiggle the steering wheel is ancient technology. Boy, I can go on and on.

@@SuperHumhum Search on RU-vid for Tesla FSD beta and you’ll be surprised. FSD beta is on a totally different level. It detects dogs, opening doors, crossing pedestrians even when they are temporarily hidden behind a car, etc etc. (I’m not a Tesla fanboy but their FSD is miles ahead imo). The BMW driving assistent can’t take a roundabout or drive in the small streets.

@@Conservator. FSD is not L3 and will never be, they lack the required safety features at hardware and software level . BMW is releasing a L3 system next year, on the other hand.

I think this guy got the optional indicator fluid topped up. :)

Sorry, but the exactly same can be said about Tesla drivers too!

That is exactly what I was thinking. I had a Tesla MYP delivered a month ago. I actually was not impressed with the Level 2 driver assist. My 2020 Ford Explorer Platinum did better and was very smooth. Also my Ford had 360 view which came in very handy when parking . I miss the forward camera to see how close I am to what's in front of me. That display with indicates the distance of the object in front of you is worthless since it is aimed higher than a high curb in front of you. You won't know you it's there untill the bumper rides over it and scrapes your bottom. I don't know why Tesla doesn't use the front camera. I also miss the Auto parking feature that parked me in tight places both perpendicular and parallel. The Ford and most other cars also had Cross traffic warning. And when backing up, the brakes apply automatically 1 foot before you struck an item. Why can't my new more expensive more technicality advanced car do that?

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GCRNYP5Qg34.html

No it's not. It's great to have acoustic feedback especially if your driving sporty. Tesla owners will not approve of course lol

the ULTIUM battery is OUTDATED Pouch Li technology from the early Laptop era. they are not advanced cells like 1865/2170 & 4680. with a PROVEN track record for SAFETY.

Deactivate it then.

Oh yeah, so much more advanced than Tesla, it will drive in city streets no problem.

@@johnmqueripel2367 🧂

@@johnmqueripel2367 No, but it has traffic light recognition and reaction, adjustable speed limit tolerance, automatic take over of speed limits, no phantom braking due to radar and camera, shows distance to the next speed limit sign, engages the lane keeping system automatically after a lane change and has a capacitive steering wheel. I guess I could find more stuff that Tesla doesn't have.

FALSE, Tesla Autopilot is a FULL TIME Level 3 ADAS while the FSD beta is a FULL TIME hands on wheel w/ CABIN camera and LIDAR that is LEVEL 4 ADAS. ELON's personal Model S and other ALPHA testers are using FSD beta w/ HANDS FREE Level 4 ADAS. Tesla is close to Releasing FSD Wide Beta this year that uses Driver Monitoring and SAFETY score app. FSD beta can now Detect & Remember rough roads and potholes and Model S/X can Automatically adjust suspension for Smoother ride.

@@markplott4820 Well, it doesn't count until it's released for everyone. If I drive a car today, I have the tools of today. Period. What the future brings we'll see. I guess other manufacturers are also evolving their system.
