WHAT!? BEATING AUTOPILOT?! THE BMW I4 TAKES ON OUR HOGBACK CHALLENGE WITH ACTIVE DRIVING ASSISTANT PRO

EV Channels Review

The BMW i4 M50's Active Driving Assistant Pro system was put to the test on the challenging Hogback route. While the system demonstrated impressive performance on straight roads and executed smooth lane changes, it struggled with tighter corners and radius limitations, leading to significant disengagements and point deductions. The reviewer noted that the system's performance improved significantly with recent software updates compared to earlier versions. Despite some critical failures, particularly in complex cornering scenarios, the system was deemed comparable to, and in some aspects, even better than Tesla's Autopilot in this specific test, earning it a high score. The reviewer also highlighted the car's excellent build quality, quiet ride, and engaging driving dynamics, though they criticized the interior material quality and the lack of physical climate controls.
