Artificial Intelligence. | #NEXTGen 2020.

BMW Group currently uses artificial intelligence in more than 400 applications and in every relevant area of the company. It plays a particularly important role in the development of new vehicles and technologies. It also forms the basis for automated driving and the most natural user experience possible in the car itself – natural interaction. The prerequisite for any application of artificial intelligence is a comprehensive database. In order to be able to map traffic virtually in the driving simulation centre and to train BMW Group vehicles on Automated Driving in the next step, the real road network and traffic events must first be digitalized. In October 2020, more than 250 million kilometres of “real world driving experience“ are be available from the regions of Europe and North America. From the totality of data from these two sources, BMW Test Fleet and BMW Customer Vehicles, particularly relevant driving scenarios and environmental factors are selected and their relevance is continuously increased.
