Glad they're focused on not just making a good AEB system, but one that isn't so damn annoying and is good at knowing when it actually needs to intervene.

And this why I love BMW! ❤ They are like the Apple of cars world. They make new technology and or technology that is already but enhances the the technology for the driver to make there ultimate driving machine! Have been BMW fan since I was kid and saw bmw at distance and now that I am an enthusiast and owner of many of them. They my company of choice 😊

I’ve always wondered how to test some of this, including the prevention of opening doors into bicycles and scooters. We did manage to test our iX1’s “stop for a cyclist coming from the side” feature last week: even if the bike is curving to be riding alongside the car -it sees the bike coming, does the braking and highlights it on the screen. I really hope people on e-scooters don’t start relying on this to always be be available

Is this locked behind the Drivers Assistance Professional Package? or is this part of Active Driving Assistant which comes standard? Please advise thanks!

[youvegotgold]

With all the touch screens they are adding, they are the ones creating a "distracted driver", hopefully this feature comes standard.

Impressive! BMW technology...
( Less screens, more easy to use buttons need to be reintroduced).
Otherwise BMW leading the field.

[Steve-sx]

So, the car stop on its own or does the driver still have to be actively be engaged?

[anthonyferrara]

Hopefully this is a standard feature!!!

My BMW IX has something like this. Or perhaps just as much. My iX1 has emergency braking too but not as much I think.

This looks really good. Great working safety features with getting in the way in every day driving.

[ripredowski]

Will be buying a X4M Competition soon. Hope it comes with this feature or as an option.

[dramboy]

Wow, a company that does real life tests with metrics instead of using it's drivers as for "beta" testing

[angrywhitemale]

More unnecessary big brother dangerous "technology"
