Driver and Vehicle Interaction

One of the items on BMW’s list of innovation is to enhance driver-vehicle interaction. Two of the ways the brand wants to do this are by incorporating Alive Geometry and Companion. Take a look at both below.

Alive Geometry

Alive Geometry is meant to give drivers the chance to be one with their vehicle. Let’s hash this out. Future BMW models would be able to read drivers movements, which would lead to a live vehicle response. Of course, the technology and how it works will have to be hashed out, but it’s all on the horizon.

Companion

Companion is another way that drivers would be able to be more in sync with their vehicles. It could even go as far as to get to know the driver of the vehicle. Ideally, the Companion would be able to detect movements of the driver and understand what he/she wants.

New Driving modes

Another way BMW is looking to enhance the driver experience is through new driving modes. Both Boost and Ease work with other intelligent systems to ensure the driver has the assistance needed to make driving more pleasurable.

Boost

Boost mode works hand-in-hand with Alive Geometry to assist the driver in several different driving experiences. When Boost mode is activated it will change the position of the steering wheel and driver seat, so that the driver can use gesture control.

Ease

Ease mode is meant to enhance the interior set-up of the vehicle, so that drivers and passengers have access to further comfort and simplicity. Seats will change positions, and the Head-Up display will provide information and entertainment to everyone in the vehicle.
