[Video] BMW X5 G05’s Self-Driving Reversing Assistant In Action!

Before the new BMW X5 arrives in dealerships worldwide in November, check out this very cool demonstration of the Reversing Assistant technology. It is basically a new feature that helps the driver our when reversing. This video shows the car doing it all by itself, even without a driver! The Reversing Assistant takes over steering to maneuver the vehicle along a path recently negotiated forwards. This system makes reversing for a distance of up to 50 meters a particularly comfortable task in the new BMW X5. All the driver has to do is operate the accelerator and brakes and monitor the surrounding area. The system is initiated by pressing a button when the vehicle is stationary and the gear selector is in the “P” position. Not only that, the steering movements made during the vehicle’s last forward maneuver are stored by the system and retained, even for longer periods, so the car can park in a place that it has parked on yesterday, or even a few days ago!
