#artificialintelligence

BMW Group's Digital Day, a sort of tech fair and outing held at its headquarters in Munich, gives the automaker an opportunity to showcase some of its latest developments and innovations in automotive technology. The focus at this year's exhibition was increased intelligent vehicle connectivity, mostly on the wireless front, and near-future introductions of upgraded digital services. For instance, the company announced that future models will soon be equipped to handle 5G mobile wireless connectivity, the next advancement for cellularbased wireless services. This means faster and better mobile data bandwidth for increased data transfer speeds and thus, enhanced vehicle connectivity. As a result, future BMWs will feature more HD navigation maps, while enabling a direct exchange of data between similarly equipped vehicles.
