WEBVTT

00:00:00.440 --> 00:00:06.839
this is the BMW tent here at CES 2016

00:00:03.480 --> 00:00:08.080
and behind me we've got the BMW i Vision

00:00:06.839 --> 00:00:12.320
future interaction okay it's a little awkwardly

00:00:10.040 --> 00:00:17.480
named but it's a concept car based on the spider that's a little bit more than

00:00:15.080 --> 00:00:21.279
the typical concept car that you might see at an auto show the first thing most

00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:26.160
people notice about it is the fact that there's no doors but that's actually not

00:00:24.240 --> 00:00:31.599
the point at all it'll have doors in the future and you have to get inside to

00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:37.040
fully realize this is not you know your grandpa's car with push button

00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:39.960
Transmission in fact it has almost no

00:00:37.040 --> 00:00:45.200
buttons inside it at all nor is it the couch on Wheels concept that you might

00:00:42.760 --> 00:00:50.039
expect from other automakers who are attempting to make well you know the

00:00:47.160 --> 00:00:54.039
autonomous car of the Future Vision future interaction is about a user

00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:57.199
experience so obviously there's a lot of technology in this car but it doesn't

00:00:55.680 --> 00:01:04.680
necessarily need to be visible um with that I think very often

00:01:01.079 --> 00:01:06.720
uh people mistake that uh technology has

00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:11.479
to be there or has to be celebrated in a certain way but they forget that it also

00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:17.000
introduces complexity to the user so in a nutshell what BMW is trying to do here

00:01:13.960 --> 00:01:19.600
is fuse the right pieces of Technology

00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:25.920
with their existing strength the actual experience of operating the machine with

00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:30.640
that said one of the most forward looking things about it to me was

00:01:28.439 --> 00:01:35.399
actually the seat design the second I sat in it with someone else

00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:39.520
the most natural thing for me to do based on the the shape and orientation

00:01:37.360 --> 00:01:44.840
of the seats was rest my ARM on the center armrest and have a casual

00:01:41.960 --> 00:01:48.360
conversation I mean how amazing is that which isn't to say that inside the car

00:01:46.399 --> 00:01:52.360
there isn't some really really cool technology the first thing that stood

00:01:50.240 --> 00:01:57.920
out to me was of course the Dual displays there's a two- layer display so

00:01:55.079 --> 00:02:03.600
that's a transparent display on top of a more traditional LCD display directly in

00:02:00.600 --> 00:02:06.119
front of the driver as well as a large

00:02:03.600 --> 00:02:09.879
super wide panoramic display that extends all the way from the driver's

00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:14.480
side over to the passenger side that can actually be controlled with motion

00:02:11.920 --> 00:02:18.560
sensors on the driver's side or two Banks of motion sensors on the passenger

00:02:16.239 --> 00:02:22.440
side as well as buttons that are integrated into the steering wheel as

00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:26.160
well as the side of the car over on the passenger side but there's more to them

00:02:24.519 --> 00:02:31.959
than meets the eye and the information displayed on them is not static the

00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:35.040
displays uh they stand for information when we think about information we have

00:02:33.440 --> 00:02:39.879
to think about relevant information relevant information to the driver and

00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:42.319
to the passengers uh in the car and uh

00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:46.319
that means that for example different uh driving scenarios kind of ask us to

00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:50.680
deliver different information to the driver so in autonomous driving mode you

00:02:48.800 --> 00:02:55.519
might have the display in front of you with pertinent information about nearby

00:02:53.440 --> 00:02:59.040
cars for example on the foreground display with the rout actually displayed

00:02:57.640 --> 00:03:03.840
in the background since you're not operating the vehicle anyway so it's of

00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:08.760
kind of secondary importance and then the panoramic display well hey that

00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:12.680
might be making full utilization of its entire width with you know suggested

00:03:11.200 --> 00:03:16.159
callers for someone that you like chatting with when you're driving and it

00:03:14.959 --> 00:03:19.519
can connect to your phone which is pretty cool so it can bring up the best

00:03:18.159 --> 00:03:23.239
suggestions so you're not navigating through a bunch of deep menus and it

00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:27.040
might have hey like media information for both you and your passenger are you

00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:31.280
compromising The Ultimate Driving Experience by putting in this autonomous

00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:34.799
technology we would never compromise The Ultimate Driving Experience in the car

00:03:33.200 --> 00:03:39.640
this is one of the driving states that we will stay true to and and also

00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:43.680
deliver it in the future in manual driving mode well hey you don't want

00:03:41.959 --> 00:03:47.760
distractions right so that panoramic display might shrink all the way down to

00:03:45.760 --> 00:03:50.879
just a very small display and then the one that's in front of you well now all

00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:55.480
of a sudden hey your Root's in the foreground because you kind of got to follow it right and then in the

00:03:54.040 --> 00:03:59.280
background you might have secondary information like a topographical map so

00:03:57.799 --> 00:04:04.079
you can really get the most out of your experience now right now in the concept

00:04:01.760 --> 00:04:07.879
the HUD is actually not active so the display that comes up right on the

00:04:05.480 --> 00:04:11.000
windshield but I mean in the future who knows what we're going to see with stuff

00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:14.760
like that you know driving assist like training modes right so you can take a

00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:20.840
corner a little bit faster a little bit better and the car can actually coach you through it kind of like you would do

00:04:17.880 --> 00:04:25.000
in a video game today but the story here is actually deeper than the car and BMW

00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:30.160
is also showing off some really cool internet of thing stuff around their

00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:35.680
open Mobility cloud with the idea that the car becomes more than just a car and

00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:39.800
more of a more of a digital Hub so the demo they've got is actually

00:04:37.360 --> 00:04:44.240
surprisingly cool with this smart connected mirror concept that they've

00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:48.639
created running through a theoretical demonstration that shows what life might

00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:54.320
be like with a connected home and a connected car so in the mirror you can

00:04:51.320 --> 00:04:55.919
actually see your agenda for the day and

00:04:54.320 --> 00:05:00.720
all you got to do is you grab your key fob it takes that that as your

00:04:57.759 --> 00:05:04.360
confirmation and you walk the door the car once you grabb the fob actually

00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:08.000
pulls itself out of the garage which opens itself positions itself in the

00:05:06.400 --> 00:05:12.160
correct orientation on the road in front of you sets the climate control so it's

00:05:10.120 --> 00:05:16.199
comfortable when you get in and boom off you go you arrive at work you get out of

00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:20.880
the car and this is where it gets really cool yet again you gesture at the car

00:05:18.880 --> 00:05:26.120
okay you found a parking spot cool pull into that parking spot car does it

00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:28.400
completely by itself really neat see

00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:31.600
feature then when you're done you walk off to work and whether you work you

00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:37.120
know a one minute walk from your car or whether you're a lot further from your car it's got this bump detection feature

00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:40.440
that combined with their overhead view allows you to see a live view of what's

00:05:39.080 --> 00:05:44.199
going on near your car and actually sends you a push notification on your

00:05:42.080 --> 00:05:47.800
phone if someone bumps it so you can be like okay hey I need to make sure that

00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:51.840
everything's okay and my car isn't in you know full-on disaster mode right now

00:05:50.479 --> 00:05:57.319
then at the end of the day you use a smart device so in the demo they were using a smartwatch you go okay hey I'm

00:05:55.520 --> 00:06:01.720
ready to Signal you you signal the car to come out of the spot you get in it

00:05:59.880 --> 00:06:05.520
drives you home or you drive it home hey whatever the choice is totally yours you

00:06:04.199 --> 00:06:09.800
park it in front of the house don't bother pulling into the garage go inside

00:06:07.800 --> 00:06:13.720
put your key fob in the mirror and boom car Parks itself and the mirror is like

00:06:11.720 --> 00:06:17.639
hey so you don't have any appointments until whenever so I'd suggest you use

00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:20.360
solar power to charge the car that's the most economical way and you can be like

00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:25.400
no actually hold on I have an unscheduled thing that I need to go do right away charge it as fast as you can

00:06:23.720 --> 00:06:31.960
it costs a little bit more but hey it's important to me very freaking cool stuff

00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:37.160
I think what is very important to understand is that cars are becoming more intelligent in the future they can

00:06:34.919 --> 00:06:41.479
take over certain tasks maybe tasks that we don't particularly enjoy about

00:06:39.039 --> 00:06:45.759
driving so when we sit in traffic uh the car can actually do certain things we're

00:06:44.080 --> 00:06:51.720
not necessarily enjoying and we have time for other things so basically this

00:06:49.160 --> 00:06:57.440
concept car shows to you that there's different scenarios that make the full

00:06:54.680 --> 00:07:02.000
drive experience a better one that was awesome thank you so much thank you for

00:06:59.280 --> 00:07:05.599
coming and uh a huge thank you to BMW for allowing us to come and have an

00:07:03.720 --> 00:07:10.720
early look at what they've got going on here at CES 2016 and I mean by the look

00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:14.720
of things and the sound of things well into the future as well
