HUMAN AND MACHINE - BRIDGING THE GAP WITH INTUITIVE VOICE INTERACTION. Since 2018 the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant has been supporting drivers by operating a range of functions in their cars. Nowadays voice con- trol is an integral and essential part of vehicle operations and supports BMW’s core philosophy: “Hands on the wheel, eyes on the road”. Together with our partners, we constantly work to improve the Intelligent Personal Assistant’s speech processing – for all BMW Group brands – and further the ever-advancing innovations in human-machine interaction as an essential means of control. FROM APP TO CAR - PERFECT SMARTPHONE CONNECTION. The My BMW and MINI apps are the universal interfaces for seamless dri- ver-car communications. They are currently used by more than 13 million customers around the world (as at 2024), giving them direct access to their BMW dealer and the brand. Customers can use the apps for things like planning travel routes – and importing them straight to their in-car naviga- tion systems – arranging service appointments, finding out more about their vehicle’s condition and keeping up to date with the BMW brand. In addition, depending on their car’s equipment package, the My BMW app offers re- mote services such as locking and unlocking of car doors. And thanks to the user’s central BMW ID, their full range of preferred settings can be trans- ferred straight from their smartphone to any other BMW vehicle as well, pro- vided it runs the BMW Operating System 7 or later.
