www.forbes.com/wheels/features/bmw-7-...BMW’s Level 3 campaign will start its 2022 7 Series full-size sedan, which is due in North America in the second half of 2022. “Level 3 you will see from us in the 7 Series next year,” said BMW’s Director of Development Frank Weber. “It’s a function you can buy. It will be ready to go at the launch of the 7 Series.”
The higher-volume 5 Series midsize sedan and, eventually, the X5 and X7 SUVs also are slated to receive the technology, Weber said. An optional upgrade to Level 3 technology also will be available for its just-launched iX electric SUV.
“The technology stack [for the iX] is a Level 3 system,” Weber said. BMW regards a “stack” as a combination of hardware and software, right down to a computer that processes data 20 times faster than current production BMWs and input from partner Mobileye, a supplier of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) software, which is owned by tech giant Intel.
BMW’s all-new iX electric crossover is a Level 2+ system, though it runs a similar technology stack to the upcoming 7 Series and uses radar, self-cleaning camera, ultrasonic and driver-monitoring sensors and runs HERE mapping and is 5G-capable.
