so BMW flew me out to Munich Germany where they unveiled a new lineup of vehicles including three amazing concepts the starters show was of course the futuristic BMW vision M next which sort of resembles the shape and proportions of the current I ate the vision M next will be a plug-in hybrid with a 2-liter four-cylinder turbo engine and twin electric motors the combination was claimed by BMW to deliver 600 horsepower or enough for 0 to 62 miles per hour in 3 seconds with a top speed of 186 miles per hour we're looking at production dates in early 2023 which will replace the current ia Tandy lineup now obviously electric vehicles don't produce any engine noise so BMW did something rather interesting to give drivers an acoustic and emotional experience they brought over Hans Zimmer who was well known for his films Blade Runner The Dark Knight trilogy interstellar and more who produced a sound for the car that feels like it's straight out of a movie imagine being in the cockpit of your vehicle and hearing this every time you accelerate obviously you can turn the sounds off but that's just one of the few sounds that hound zimmer composed with the help of Renzo Vitali who was the sound designer for BMW I think it's a pretty cool feature that adds a little bit of fun to your driving experience this sound was specifically designed for the vision M NEX but each car will have its very own sound profile the other concept that caught my attention was the vision I next a fully electric vehicle that's supposed to last up to 373 miles on a single charge it can reach 60 miles per hour in less than 4 seconds and offers level 3 autonomy which means you can take your hands and eyes off the road but you still need to be conscious and be ready to take the wheel when you need to the design of the vision I next kind of makes you feel like you're at home specifically your grandmother's living room the interior is split into two sections and it kind of gives off a warm relaxing vibe the dashboard looks pretty cool there are no visible buttons anywhere just two massive rectangular displays BMW is calling the technology in this car saitec instead of high-tech meaning that I will stay out of sight and hidden until the moment you need to use them the ennoble you says that there will be a new car based on this concept arriving in 2021 also at the next-gen a vent BMW premiered the next generation of its adaptive cruise control system which will be able to detect and automatically stop at red lights the system uses these same cameras that are already built into virtually all new BMWs today which can already detect speed limits and pass those on to the cruise control system so the car will automatically stop and hold at a red light until the light changes to green and that's when the driver has to tap the cruise control button to continue now because it's a new software feature BMW will be able to upgrade existing cars with this feature in the future although remains a mystery about when exactly it will launch and which cars will get it first all of this technology will eventually lead us to full automation where the car doesn't need a driver and can perform any and all driving tasks I had a chance to experience this at the next-gen event before we even got into the car the person used a smartphone to summon the car which was already mind blowing on the phone you can pretty much set a pickup and destination location and the car does the the vehicle uses all the cameras and scans for obstacles continuously while driving it's amazing to see how far technology has come I feel like it won't be long until we start seeing driverless cars in the streets I had such an amazing time at the next-gen event in Munich Germany I want to give a huge thanks to BMW for flying me out there and getting a good glimpse of what can be possible and in here future if you guys want to check out any of the cool stuff I mentioned in this video I'll drop a link to everything down below things again so much for watching as always I'll see you guys in the next one
