BMW says the new glasses provide a more stable visualisation of content than earlier incarnations of the Xreal Air (an example view is pictured below).
A slicker connection to the sensor data of the car is also claimed to provide more precise pinpointing of visualisations.
BMW has also shown off its updated voice assistant, which works in conjunction with Amazon’s Alexa Large Language Model (LLM).
Earmarked for future production cars, it brings additional artificial intelligence (AI) functionality to BMW’s Intelligent Personal Assistant, which is said to allow for faster and smoother processing of conversational commands and questions.
BMW is yet to confirm when its new LLM-supported Voice Assistant will be made available, but the existing system (which works with limited AI functionality) will be further improved on cars running the 9.0 operating system in 2024.
The firm has also showcased new level-four autonomous driving technology. Developed in partnership with Valeo, it includes an automated valet parking (AVP) function that allows the driver to leave the car at a defined drop-off point. From this point onward, the car autonomously searches for an empty parking space and parks itself.
