BMWs 7-Series Gets L3 Autonomy, Even Works In The Dark

➡️ Level 3 is like the Everest base camp of self driving. While Level 2 autonomous technologies still require you to pay attention to the road, even if some of them don’t require you to hold the wheel, Level 3 lets you legally hand over driving duties to the car while you watch a movie or catch up on emails. So far, only Mercedes has a Level 3 system available in the U.S. and Europe, but now BMW has joined the club. BMW’s €6,000 ($6,400) Personal Pilot L3 can be ordered on the 7-Series from December and will be fitted to vehicles starting next March and promises the same kind of benefits the Mercedes Drive Pilot does. On selected motorways with carriageways separated by a physical barrier you’ll be able to kick back and let the car take the strain, but only up to a maximum of 37 mph (60kmh). So it’s not going to be much use on high-speed, multi-hour cross-country blasts, but it could make getting to the office in a motorway traffic jam more bearable. And unlike the Mercedes system, BMW’s L3 tech even works in the dark. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘁 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗪𝗲𝗯𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗲 ► ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 𝗙𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗨𝘀 𝗢𝗻 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Google News ► Youtube ► Facebook ► Twitter ► Instagram ► ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #shorts #bmw #7series #selfdriving
