the BMW i3 already has self parking technology but you have to be in the car to do it now at CES BMW is showing gesture controlled parking with an Apple watch when you're outside the car to activate it I shake my wrist and then I just sweep it away but let's take a look at some other gesture control technology that BMW has here at CES now I'm sitting in the BMW I vision future interaction concept car which uses the air gesture technology that BMW announced here at CES so with air gesture I have sensors along the dashboard here that can read where my hand is and I've got a big screen up here for my infotainment interface so if I wave my hand across I can choose from navigation media communication smart home and I can choose sub menus in each so if i go to communication and look for my contacts i can press a button on the steering wheel and open up a submenu of contacts then i can wave my hand around to choose the person i want to talk to and once I find one I can push a button here on the steering wheel again to initiate that phone call BMW already has some simplified gesture control in the new 7 series but this air gesture concept takes it a step further this is something we could see in the future that could actually eliminate a lot of buttons and dials that we see in cars today
