BMW is at CES this year with the most extreme self-driving demo yet — a 2014 2-Series that literally drifts itself through wet pavement at high speed. And fortunately, we were in the car when it happened.

We hit the road in the BMW i8 to put BMW's Connected Drive connectivity through its paces. We pair the BMW i8 with the Apple iPhone and BMW iRemote and we also pair with the Apple Watch to see how this technology works.
The application allows you to air condition your car remotely, lock and unlock it remotely along with find its location.

BMW Gesture Control Parking - Demonstration
Published on Jan 17, 2016

The BMW i3 recognises gestures, and drives into and out of a parking space fully automatically.
The Open Mobility Cloud recognises when specific functions are next expected by users. In the Smart Home, picking up the vehicle key is the signal to open the garage door and this action gives the networked BMW i3 the signal to leave the garage. The vehicle reverses automatically, turns and positions itself outside the door ready for when the driver leaves the house. The research application BMW Gesture Control Parking means that the BMW i3 can also drive into and out of a parking space while on a journey without the driver sitting in the vehicle. The function is triggered by a wave gesture which is recognised by the smart watch and transmitted to the vehicle.
After having arrived at the venue for an appointment, the BMW i3 helps to find a free parking space. Once the system has identified a free space, the driver selects it, stops and gets out of the vehicle. While the driver is standing beside the BMW i3, the smart watch is activated using an individually configurable activation gesture. The subsequent wave gesture gives the starting signal for the parking procedure and this is transmitted to the BMW i3 by wireless connection. The use case demonstrated at the 2016 CES shows the vehicle reversing independently in a semicircle, then moving forward into the vacant parking space while controlled by the vehicle sensor system, and finally locking the doors. The manoeuvre to drive out of the parking space is also triggered by wave gestures that are picked up by the smart watch. The BMW i3 reverses out of the parking space independently and then positions itself in the right direction ready to drive away.
