Autonomous cars are harder to design than any other, says BMW
If you think you’re frustrated with BMW’s current design direction, just wait until cars get even more autonomous. At the moment, the most advanced autonomous driving systems are Level 3 at best and that requires a lot of external hardware. However, the hardware for Level 3 can easily be hidden in grilles and whatnot. Move up to Level 4 and that’s not so easy anymore. Move further up to Level 5 and it may not even be possible.
