Try BMW New M3 Level 2 Autonomous Driving

You can run at high speed hands-free during traffic jams

After the BMW M3 was deliveredBasically, this is my husband's car, but I like it so much that I drive it.

I ran at high speed again on this day and tried automatic driving. It seems that the new M3 is equipped with Level 2 autonomous driving, and it is hands-free at low speeds (60 to 70 km or less?) And the M3 drives at high speeds.

I haven't looked at the manual seriously yet, so I'm sorry for the sensualism I felt somehow.

I would like to see the manual properly next time.

And then, then.

I thought that the adaptive cruise control of this M3 was also quite smart, convenient and easy to use, but the automatic driving I tried this time was even more amazing! !! !!

If you get on the highway and M3 admits "Oh, it's okay here", it will tell you "I can assist plus".

This Assist Plus is so-called Level 2 autonomous driving.

If you are told that you can do Assist Plus, press the MODE button to switch to "Assist Plus" mode.

The light on this steering will then turn green (although it looks yellow in the photo).

If this green color comes on, it looks like a signal to turn on automatic driving. Once this is attached, you will be able to drive hands-free. great!

At first I was scared because I wasn't used to it, but once I got used to it, it would drive properly even if I let go of it completely, so I was able to leave the driving to the M3 with great peace of mind.

When there was a traffic jam (when driving at low speed), the car was driving hands-free, and it was an event in an unknown world, so I was impressed when I got used to it.

great!

Even if it's just like drinking coffee hands-free while driving, it's all about letting go and letting go (that's (laughs)?) But the car keeps driving. It was futuristic.

However, it seems that my face (eyes) is recognized in this part ↓, and when my line of sight was cut off from the front, I was angry with "Properly look forward!". That is also amazing.

After that, I was looking at this screen without thinking about anything, but there was an animation of a car running in the next lane, and at this time the truck ↓

But at this time, a passenger car ↓

I was thinking ... This was really the size of a car passing next door. When the truck passed, it became a truck. Wow! !! !! !!

This automatic driving may not be stopped at high speeds during traffic jams. It's too convenient.

Even if it is not autonomous driving, ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control) alone is convenient, and it is amazing that even though it is a car with the joy of running through the M3, it also has this convenient function.

Whether the 911 is on the circuit or shopping at the supermarket, it's OK! Just like saying that, this M3 is also good to go leisurely by automatic driving, and it is very good that it is OK to drive properly ^ ^

Goodbye BMW Takanawa

It doesn't matter at all, but I happened to have the opportunity to walk in Takanawa, but I passed in front of where BMW Takanawa was originally.

It was kind of sad that the BMW Takanawa, which I had been allowed to go to several times, was completely empty and nothing was left (tears).

In this way, the times change.

I want to continue living without regrets (what (laughs)?).
