After talking about the above information, the editor will talk about the automatic lane change function with gaze confirmation. This feature is included in the Autonomous Driving Assistance System Pro and is therefore only available if the vehicle is equipped with the Autonomous Driving Assistance System Pro.
The automatic lane change function with gaze confirmation is used as follows: After starting the automatic driving assistance system Pro, the vehicle enters a high-speed cruising state at 60km/h~180km/ H speed range, if there is a slow car ahead, then in the case of traffic conditions that meet the conditions for lane change, the dashboard will appear on the lane change suggestion prompt, at this time the driver does not need to change the driving habits, as usual when changing lanes naturally glance at the exterior rearview mirror, BMW's intelligent driving system will track the driver's line of sight and head movements through the infrared camera, the vehicle can immediately complete the lane change, the whole process is silky and smooth.
It is worth noting that some friends said that the function is difficult to turn on, in fact, we have some points to pay attention to, for example: the function relies on the driver attention monitoring camera (DCS) at the dashboard to capture the driver's head turning action, so if the corresponding position is blocked, it may cause the function to fail; the vehicle needs to turn on the assisted driving in the automatic driving assistance system Pro, and keep right to follow the side of the slow car on the smooth closed road (such as closed loop, expressway, highway), and the speed range is maintained at 60km/h~180km/h, but you may need to cruise faster than the speed of the overtaken vehicle, and you need to turn on the "automatic lane change assist" in the central control screen car machine system.
Write at the end:
As part of BMW's driver assistance system, the automatic lane change function with gaze confirmation can be called a silky and easy-to-use black technology, and you may as well share your experience in the comment area!
