Transforming Driveware into AI Hardware – Unlocking Future of Joy
summary
BMW prototypes mixed-reality glasses that overlay a virtual world (they demo a Mars track) onto a real car and drivers report a convincing sensation, raised heart rates, and faster lap improvement; use cases include multiplayer gaming, focused Nürburgring corner practice (24 km track avoided), drift and safety training, and obstacle rehearsal with no damage. Spatial computing pairs with computer vision and central high‑performance vehicle computers and actuators; deployment targets are within 5 years and broader consumer uptake over 5–10 years.
