It’s about a year away, but a new vehicle from BMW isn’t just a car, it’s a project designed to change the way we drive.
BMW’s latest offering adds a virtual reality display to the driving experience. It’s a journey through a completely designed city, something like a video game.
The technology is being developed in both Germany and Silicon Valley.
“A lot of partners are coming up with more and more innovative technologies. So maybe in the future we won’t even need a headset. We have heads-up displays in cars, so that could be another possibility,” said Cassandra Degenhart, a communications manager at BMW.
Julia Debono, the CEO of BMW Design Works, gave NBC Bay Area a first look at what BMW is about to unveil, the “New Class”. It’s an all-electric car due out in 2025.
