While introducing the i3 connected to the smart watch, BMW also gave a glimpse of the recent stages of the development of self-driving cars at the Las Vegas Consumer Electronics Show.

Judging by the video the the prototypes can run through a high-speed slalom, perform precise lane changes, and slide around corners, without any driver intervention . Thanks to the sophisticated electronics, on a race track the car can even calculate the ideal curves, like in a video game. The GPS module was reportedly borrowed from the most modern military rocket control systems.
The car in the video is equipped with radar and camera system, the latter being considered more helpful by the developers as the camera is not only cheaper than the radar, but „because of the wide angle it is more reliable in noticing objects out of the field of sight of the driver”.
