BMW has announced \u2018Level 3\u2019 autonomous driving technology will be added to the new 7 Series from March 2024, allowing drivers to take their hands off the wheel to engage with other tasks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

So far, we\u2019ve seen autonomous technology reach \u2018Level 2 Plus\u2019 in the form of Ford\u2019s Blue Cruise system which still requires users to maintain attention on the road. Although BMW\u2019s set-up only works at speeds up to 37mph on motorways, it will control the car\u2019s speed, distance to the vehicle in front and lane positioning, both in daylight and nighttime. The system will only be available for 7 Series models in Germany and not for the all-electric i7.\u00a0<\/p>\n
