Video – BMW High Beam Assist Headlights Demonstration

This video demonstrates the fantastic High Beam Assistant in the 2012 BMW 328i. The glare-free High Beam Assistant from BMW ConnectedDrive regulates the main beam of the headlights for optimum illumination of the route and thus reduces the burden on the driver. When the system is activated, an image sensor on the inside of the front mirror monitors the lighting conditions and the traffic ahead at a distance of up to 400 metres. The assistant uses these sensor images to determine the strength of the high beam and varies it smoothly. Oncoming traffic is registered at a distance of some 1,000 metres. A mechanism in the headlight specifically covers points in the high beam and dynamically aligns it so that any risk of dazzling is ruled out. At current, only the F30 and F01/F02 (7 Series) LCI (facelift) had this new High Beam Assistant where the system is variable, and not just “ON/OFF”.
