The BMW iX and i4 feature a new an improved version of the BMW Reversing Assistant dubbed BMW Maneuver Assistant. The new Maneuver Assistant has far more functionality than the outgoing Reversing Assistant. One of which is its ability to save and store memorized reverse paths. For instance, if you have a long, tricky driveway, pull in correctly once and you can save that exact path. This way, when it's time to reverse, it uses that specific path each and every time. So if you're a bit tired one night and you pull in a bit wonky, it's not going to use that path as its memory for next time.
Up to ten paths can be saved, though the longest a single path can be is 200 meters, with only up to 600 meters total. So the limit is ten paths or 600 meters, whichever comes first.
It also can self-correct by up to 30 cm (almost 12 inches), in case it needs to maneuver around a new obstacle in is its path that wasn't upon entry. It will always revert back to its original path but there's some wiggle room now, for self-correction. Interestingly, it can also make multiple-point turns throughout the path.
In this new video, we show off a demonstration of the BMW iX reversing itself out of a parking spot, navigating an underground car park, and pulling into a parking space, all on its own, using a pre-recorded path.
