New Concept Car BMW Vision Connected Drive

This is the first post in the web-blog Oto Design and Concept
New Concept BMW immediately evokes associations with the classical model brand uncompromising "driver's car": long hood, short front overhang, the inverse slope of the radiator grille. 

Interesting solution - the tiny, like a model Z1, the doors. But if the Z1, they moved down, then Vision ConnectiveDrive consist of two parts, hiding inside the body: the outer leaves forward, inner ago.

As for the "layers", this notion intererschikov BMW, whose purpose - to distribute a set of controls for individual teams responsible for specific functions. Something like that we've seen on Vision EffecientDynamics, but a new concept idea lodged more explicitly stressed fiber-optic lights and crawled yet and on the exterior.

All the "body" BMW Vision ConnectiveDrive is divided into three "layers": security (red-orange), entertainment (blue), comfort (green)

Red-orange layer includes all that relates to driving, including a windshield that displays basic information, as well as programmable dashboard. Ends with a layer of sensors embedded in the lighting equipment.

Blue layer, information and entertainment, besides the driver and passenger covers, encouraging them to communicate. The front panel of the passenger can turn into a large touch screen, behind the seats with blue lights flashing antenna entertainment system.

Green layer represents the interaction of the car with the outside world. Its extreme points - the antenna, located on the site mirrors.

 

Now a little about the system ConnectedDrive. It is being implemented at the BMW since 2002, and this concept has received the maximum development. Imagine that you sit down in his BMW. The machine immediately connects to Ezhednevnik in your smartphone. Upon learning that the driver will be a business meeting, the machine itself is a route, looking for a place to park, if necessary selects alternative transportation. Meeting postponed? No problem. 

ConnectedDrive find a suitable restaurant anywhere in the city. When approaching the machine will show a free parking space with the help of augmented reality - on the windshield. You leave the car parked automatically, without your participation. ConnectiveDrive also able to communicate with other machines on the road to warn the driver in case of danger.

Enjoy your life ^_^
