BMW Personal Pilot L3 aims to beat Tesla FSD Beta in 2024

[Redaktion]

BMW is launching what it calls "highly automated driving" features in Germany. While Germany gets the SAE Level 3 Personal Pilot L3 system, the current Highway Assistant suite is limited to Level 2 in the US and Canada. BMW's Level 3 system will cost €6,000 (around US$ 6,800), and it is fully functional at night.

BMW will now also take Tesla's automated driving software to task

the feature will only be operable at up to 60 km/h (37 mph)

the limitations of Personal Pilot L3 restrict its use to "structurally separated carriageways," and permissive visual conditions. If conditions aren't met, drivers receive both a visual and auditory warning that the service cannot be activated.

Something tells me Elon isn't sweating this.

To be fair, BMW's Level 2 package — same level as FSD Beta — works at up to 130 km/h, so there's that. Level 2 for highways, Level 3 for slower roads.

FSD is also limited (also requires good visibility and lighting), which is why it's called "Autosteer on City Streets" in other markets.
