Intriguing. When the car encounters the palette, would it not be safer in most cases for the car to steer around the palette rather than stop? Otherwise, the risk of being rear ended exists. I recognize the current level 3 system may not allow the car to change lanes to avoid the palette, but is it the intention in future to allow the car to change lanes to avoid obstacles, provided there is no adjacent car preventing that maneuver? If so, would that require a more advanced lidar system with lower latency and 360 degree coverage? As well, is a more advanced lidar required to increase the level 3 speeds beyond 60 km/h and up to the 130 km/h allowed by regulation?
Not sure what the regulations are in regards to that, but that palette could be simply be a car braking hard in front of you. You rarely have time to go around it, in safe manner. The safest way MIGHT be to still brake hard. Again, not 100% sure, just my opinion
@@ChrisB_Crisps Well, the regulation (R157) in its latest version doesn't necessarily restrict the ADS vehicle from leaving its current lane of travel. For an Emergency Manouvre, it allows to do so, but it is really up to the strategy of the manufacturer on how its AD system deals with those kind of situations when there is an imminent collision risk. If choosing to swerve around the obstacle, that would of course only be possible if it doesn't cause an unsafe situation for vehicles in the lane you're evading into. Also in non-risk situations the vehicle could leave the current lane. For instance, forming an access corridor for emergency vehicles or performing a regular lane change for overtaking.
BMW Group hacked and parodied EJFJ Positive Contextualisation, the accurate identification of any object with few lanthanid atoms disposer cleverly in well identified material with well known physical characteristics (pressure reactions, dilatation, humidity effects, ...) to allow accurate identification of what is scientifically possible and what is dangerous and needs to be spared!
i was driving my ix1 on welsh roads a couple of weeks ago and had a couple of surprises from its driver assistance speed limit compliance - does anyone know how to file bug reports with the driver assistance team "mistook a '30 mph in 200 yards'" speed limit sign as an immediate 30 mph sign and did an needless hard break"...
Another demo in the controlled environment. We have seen this before , until you can check it yourself on normal road without engineer its nothing interesting.
@@bmwblog A while back my Mercedes with Level II system freaked out on a freeway when a plastic bag flew in front and slammed on the brakes. Most likely BMW will do the same. My Tesla ignores bags, since it's not using the radar anymore, just vision. I'd rather have a combo of radar/lidar/vision when vision can override erroneous inputs, like plastic bags.
@@worldview2134 same here. So hopefully we will test it next year again. This was a real driving scenario though. With highways and signs. But then again, not sure how it works in other environments
Damn coming from teslas fsd, this really puts into perspective that how far these companies are from autonomy. I feel like if someone witnesses fsd today in Tesla, they’ll know what I’m talking about. No wonder these companies are way behind. So many things. 1. You need a new hardware? That sucks big time. 2. So many limitations to this not very self driving
When I watched this video, it had already been published 8 months ago. Have there been significant advancements in these past eight months? I suspect progress has nearly stalled for many. We've all seen Tesla's Version 12 evolving in a frenzy of updates. As a BMW owner, I hope to see a level of autonomous driving that can truly compete with Tesla. But BMW and Mercedes, how much have you actually advanced? It feels like starting this year, the gap is only widening.🤔
@@bmwblog I really hope they treat their iX SUV as a premiere product just like 7 series. In EV SUV that's their top model. EQS Sedan and SUV will have similar capability next year, no reason for BMW to not have it in both their Sedan and SUV. Exciting time ahead -- can't wait for more details on Neu Klasse this September Munich conference and about this Level 3 system hopefully by CES 2025. Hoping that BMW does an early Facelift to iX next year. I have been following your blog and I must commend you for all the great work you do for aspiring BMW buyers.
From this demo I see only Level 2 ADAS, only automatic braking and Auto Cruise Control. No automatic acoidance or overtaking... For me now the best is Waymo taxi, then Mercedes ADAS 3, then Honda, then the Comma AI and the last is the AutoPilot from Tesla
Stopping for the palette would be disastrous in real highway driving conditions. L3 should check for traffic in other lanes and swerve carefully when able to
This is arguable. What if a car slams the brakes in front of you? Should the car try to stop or potentially go around it and hit other cars or objects?
I am assuming BMW and Mercedes Benz are using the same autonomous driving software from Nvidia. This is pretty much useless given all the preconditions. For less than $45K, the Tesla Model Y can be self-drive on any road, anytime, and just about any conditions.
Geht ja auch mehr um das Regulatorische. Mit Level 3 ist nicht mehr der Fahrer für Unfälle verantwortlich. Von daher ist hier BMW rein rechtlich um Jahre voraus.
I think it's the only brand that should always have autonomous driving. Now they will drive better than the current BMW drivers and they will finally use the turn signals!
Where?? When I asked him something, it was more of a quick follow up. We don't have the luxury to wait for a full speech and then ask questions. Time is limited and we wanna probe with questions. If you listen the whole thing, the instances where you see that, are very limited.
Totally autonomous driving… well, as long as you are going less than 40 MPH on a mapped highway, during the day, not raining, and following another car!!!! OMG. LOL!!!!! Just drove a Tesla from AZ through UT, CO, NM and back to AZ STARTING IN MY DRIVEWAY btw, without touching a pedal or the steering wheel. This is a joke.
@@bmwblogLOL not talking about “regulations” talking about functionality. This so called L3 is a joke. It is at best adaptive cruise control. Until it can take you from your driveway to the highway, then back on local streets and park at your destination, you should not call it autonomous. Tesla FSD can do all of that now hands free and they still call theirs L2.
Haven't tested Tesla. But essentially this is what the regulations define Level 3. I'm sure there are edge cases that some automakers can push, but it probably comes down to how comfortable each OEM is with risk.
sadly this technically is L3, but the levels DO NOT connote ability or feature set. Its definitely inferior to FSD, but L3 is so limited its more of a checkbox than anything advanced.
The ultimate autonomous machine , bmw new slogan. Currently on my 3rd Bmw honestly feel like the company is moving away from its dna , injecting more and more unnecessary tech and taking away the soul .
a big LOL! BMW team,. very outdated.. who in the world says this as level 3, when you are not even allowed to wear sunglasses, and it keeps watching your face/eyes, while you get pissed off to sear the straight light and not able to wear any sun glasses.. and does this even have any automatic lane change at the least or the drivers needs to instruct it explicitly pressing the left/right turn shaft?
This guy interrupts the BMW guy so much it’s annoying. Be professional dude. Your replies to some of the comments are rude as well. You’ve interrupted the guy 90% of the time.
What replies were rude? And part of a conversation is sometimes to interrupt and ask a quick follow up. Especially when you know you only have a few minutes. But again, what comments were rude?
