The upcoming BMW iX3 will debut with advanced driver-assistance features, including hands-free highway cruising, automated lane changes, and intelligent parking, powered by the Ride Pilot system developed in partnership with Qualcomm.

Key Features of Snapdragon Ride Pilot in the BMW iX3:

• Hands-Free Highway Driving: The system enables Level 2+ autonomy, allowing drivers to take their hands off the wheel on approved highways while the car handles steering, acceleration, and braking.
• Automatic Lane Changes: Using advanced sensors and computer vision, the iX3 can detect when it's safe to change lanes and execute the maneuver seamlessly.
• Parking Assistance: AI-powered parking capabilities help the vehicle identify suitable spots and park itself, which is especially useful in tight urban spaces.
• 360-Degree Awareness: The system uses a suite of cameras, radar, and lidar to build a full view of the car’s surroundings, enabling object detection, lane recognition, and even driver monitoring.
• Over-the-Air Updates: Like a smartphone, the system can receive software updates remotely, improving performance and adding new features over time.
• Cybersecurity Built-In: Qualcomm’s platform includes robust protections to guard against digital threats, keeping both the vehicle and its occupants safe.

The all-electric BMW iX3 marks the beginning of BMW’s Neue Klasse era, blending cutting-edge technology with a fresh design philosophy. Built on BMW’s sixth-generation eDrive platform, the iX3 delivers up to 805 kilometers (500 miles) of range and supports ultra-fast 800-volt charging, adding over 230 miles in just 10 minutes. With dual electric motors producing 469 horsepower and 645 Nm of torque, it accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.9 seconds. The SUV features a sleek, aerodynamic profile, a minimalist interior with BMW’s Panoramic Vision display, and a spacious cabin designed for everyday practicality.
