Up and coming BMW

BMW developed an automatic system of control in a BMW 330i for a dynamic demonstration on the circuit of TOP GEAR.
Contours of the race track are before located with GPS then the data are memorized in a super calculator embarked in the car.

This research does not have the role to replace the drivers but to bring solutions to the people having problems at the wheel. Research will surely help to guide public transport of the future.
The system allows for the moment to contribute to the training for the best pilots to refine their trajectories. The data-processing power command at the car to follow the ideal trajectory.
The precision of the system is a few cm.
Soon will see a computer “super pilot” testing the new models of the brand on the circuits in an impartial way? Or to replace the pilots in the championships?

BMW shows at all the manufacturers his desire for advancing in the technological and safety domain with this research.

the “Green Wheels”

I spoke about it in the preceding articles, BMW uses the current ecomovement. It is congratulated today for these actions in this domain.
The German weekly magazine “Bild Am Sonntag”, thus launched the “Green Wheels”. This new price rewards a technology corresponding to a projection in the domain for the protection of planet. This year, it is BMW who receive the distinction for his program Efficient Dynamics.
To summarize, the program is to reduce the CO2 emissions. It is composed of the function “Start & Stop”, of the recuperation of energy to braking, an indicator of change of gear, tires offering less rolling friction and of a work on aerodynamics and an electric power-assisted. Set up in first on Series 1, Efficient Dynamics extends gradually to all BMW lineups, but also to the Mini.
