Summary
BMW will bring navigation-guided city driving to select models via software updates in 2027, taking on Tesla’s FSD while facing growing scrutiny over Level 2 driver safety. BMW says that it will expand its navigation-guided, partially automated driving capabilities into urban environments starting in 2027, launching first in Germany with other markets to follow. The new system can help steer, speed up, and slow down the vehicle on both highways and city streets using its built-in GPS navigation. BMW is the latest automaker to commit to releasing a partially autonomous city driving feature to its customers, as the industry races to keep up with Tesla and its Full Self-Driving (FSD) system.
