CTOnews.com, Nov. 13 (Xinhua) BMW will launch its Personal Pilot L3 autopilot system in the German market, which is similar to Mercedes-Benz's DRIVE PILOT system, which is an L3 autopilot system that can control the speed, distance from the car and lane position without the driver's operation when the driver is temporarily distracted.

The Personal Pilot L3 system will be available in the new BMW 7-Series, BMW said in a press release. Currently, the system is limited to the German market and sells for 6000 euros (CTOnews.com Note: currently about 46740 yuan). Like Mercedes-Benz's DRIVE PILOT system, BMW's Personal Pilot L3 system can only be enabled under certain conditions. For example, the system can only be used at a speed of up to 60 km / h on highways with structurally separated lanes. However, BMW stressed that its system is characterized by its ability to use in the dark.

Once the personal Personal Pilot L3 system is activated, drivers can engage in minor in-car activities, including those that require them to take their eyes off the road, including checking and editing emails, making more in-depth phone calls and accessing streaming services. This is hinted at by a picture provided by BMW in a press release about the system, showing the video streaming service playing on the vehicle's infotainment display. Like other advanced driving assistance systems, the Personal Pilot L3 system alerts drivers when manual intervention is needed, including visual and auditory alerts. BMW points out that if the driver does not respond, the vehicle will stop under control.

BMW's launch of the L3 autopilot system in Germany bodes well for its launch in other markets. Mercedes-Benz, which first launched its DRIVE PILOT system in Germany in May 2022, began obtaining approval for its L3 autopilot system in the United States this year, first in Nevada.
