Driving Assistant and Driving Assistant Plus
The Driving Assistant and Driving Assistant Plus use sensors to make travel in the BMW 7 Series as comfortable as possible. Let’s have a look at the Driving Assistant and Driving Assistant Plus feature in detail:
Collision Warning Feature
The Collision Warning feature makes use of radar sensors and a stereo camera to alert the driver of potential collisions and incoming traffic, from the front and rear. The sensors automatically detect any obstacles that may come your way even before they are visible and prepares to brake fully. It also detects lane markings and keeps your car always in the middle of the lane.
Lane Keeping Assistant/Lane Departure Warning
Lane Keeping Assistant ensures that your car is always in the middle of the lane. For instance, as you’re driving and another car gets too close to you, it will alert the driver with a sound keeping you at a safe distance. Your car would automatically slow down or steer away from the object to prevent any collision.
If your vehicle reaches a speed of over 70 km/h, the Lane Departure Warning feature recognizes lane markings and keep your car in the middle of the lane. Similarly, Lane Change Warning draws the driver’s attention with a vibration in the steering wheel, if your vehicle enters the driver's blind spot. This will prevent the vehicle from leaving lane unintentionally or colliding with obstacles.
Active Cruise Control
The Active Cruise Control feature helps maintain your speed up to 210 km/h. It also keeps you at a certain distance from the vehicle ahead of you. This feature is like driving on autopilot. However, you still have to keep your hands on the wheel.
Traffic Jam Feature
This feature allows you to rest during heavy traffic and monitors any obstruction. It automatically stops, slows down, or accelerates during traffic, making traffic jams less stressful.
