宝马近日在拉斯维加斯CES消费电子展上发布了i Vision Future Interaction概念车。该车基于i8 Spyder概念车，是一款高度自动化的敞篷车，采用了专门为自动驾驶设计的高科技客舱。车厢内最抢眼的莫过于乘客一侧仪表板上的21英寸大尺寸显示屏。当车辆处于自动驾驶模式时，显示屏变身成一个硕大娱乐系统，可以让驾驶员连接互联网，阅读电子邮件或观看视频。驾驶员一侧也设置了高科技仪表群和一个三维显示屏，它不仅可以显示普通信息，而且包括车辆前方道路细节。另一项新的配置是AirTouch手势控制系统，它可以让使用者可以像操作触摸屏那样操作显示屏，但无需实际接触屏幕表面。该系统利用各种传感器感知和解读手势动作。宝马还为这款概念车配备了专属驾驶模式选择器，包括传统驾驶模式的Pure Drive（手动驾驶）、可以在车辆即将发生碰撞时进行干预的Assist（辅助系统主动介入）和全自动驾驶模式的Auto Mode（高度自动化操作）三种模式。当选择Auto Mode模式后，方向盘将发出蓝光并前移，为驾驶员提供更宽敞的休息空间。而运动座椅也可以调整为半躺模式，让驾驶员能更舒适的观看大尺寸显示屏的内容。
BMW i Vision Future Interaction concept introduced
BMW has introduced the new i Vision Future Interaction concept at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
Based on the i8 Spyder concept, the i Vision Future Interaction concept is a "highly automated" roadster with a high-tech cabin that has been designed for autonomous driving.
The most noticeable interior change is the addition of a 21-inch panorama display that is mounted on the passenger side of the dashboard. When the car is in autonomous driving mode, the display becomes a massive entertainment system that allows the driver to access the internet, read their e-mail or watch videos.
Drivers will also find a high-tech instrument cluster with a three-dimensional display. It shows all the usual information as well as details about vehicles on the road ahead even if they are not in the driver's field of vision.
Another new feature is the AirTouch gesture control system which enables users to interact with the panaroma display without actually having to touch it. The system uses a variety of sensors to detect and interpret hand movements. As an example, drivers would simply need to move their hand forward in a push gesture to make a selection on the display.
BMW also equipped the concept with a unique drive mode selector switch that has three different options. Pure Drive mode offers a traditional driving experience, while Assist mode will actively intervene when a potential collision is detected. Lastly, there's an Auto Mode which provides a fully autonomous driving experience.
When the latter mode is selected, the steering wheel is illuminated blue and moves forward to provide the driver with additional room to relax. The sports seats also adjust to a more lounge-like setting so drivers can view the panorama display more comfortably.
