Intelligent and connected mobility.
interacting with the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant.
The BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant has been available in a range of vehicles with BMW Operating System 7.0 since March 2019. The intelligent digital companion, which responds to “Hey BMW”, assists the driver, learns their preferences, knows their preferred settings and is an absolute expert on the vehicle. With regular Remote Software Upgrades that can be performed seamlessly “over the air” and installed directly in the vehicle, new capabilities are continuously added to improve and expand the assistant. The upcoming upgrade will allow the user to chat with the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant and engage in short, amusing conversations:
„Hey BMW, what's your favourite colour?"
Interacting with the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant.
The BMW Group is set to revolutionise Sheer Driving Pleasure with the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant. The new technology enables direct communication with the vehicle: Activated with “Hey BMW”, it can explain many different functions (“How does the High-Beam Assistant work?”); provide status updates (“Does the oil need changing?”); and answer questions (“Which warning messages do I have?”).
It assists the driver by learning their preferences and favourite settings, for example, for seat heating, or knowing the places they navigate to on a regular basis (“Take me home”).
One unique feature compared with other digital assistants is that drivers can give their helper a name to create more of a personality. The personal assistant’s capabilities are constantly being enhanced.
