📰[EV NEWS] 🚀 Good bye, buttons: BMW`s New Panoramic iDrive System 🚀

#BMW recently introduced its revolutionary #Panoramic #iDrive system at #CES2025, bringing a futuristic edge to driving. The Panoramic iDrive features a 3D heads-up display that spans across the base of the windshield, seamlessly integrating with a central console screen, some physical buttons, and an #AI voice assistant.

Designed to ensure drivers can stay focused on the road while enjoying enhanced digital functionalities, this system is set to debut in BMW`s Neue Klasse models. This innovation aims to personalize and streamline the driving experience, making it not only safer but more enjoyable.

#Volkswagen, for example, had to bring physical buttons back to its infotainment offering in the #ID range of electric vehicles, as both users and reviewers expressed concerns that the minimalist interior design hindered the ability to easily find essential functions.

Time will reveal whether the Panoramic iDrive system is as simple and intuitive to use when driving as BMW intends.
