        "summary": "BMW plans to begin collecting images, videos, and sensor data from customer vehicles in Germany starting 1 April 2026, specifically from the new iX3 and i3 models, to improve its semi-autonomous driving systems. The data collection, which requires user consent and complies with data protection regulations, will focus on real-world driving events to enhance features like automatic emergency braking, lane change assistance, and urban road aids, while prioritising privacy by blurring faces and licence plates. This initiative underscores BMW's commitment to safer, more responsive autonomous technologies through actual user behaviour insights.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - BMW is reportedly set to start collecting image,\nvideo, and sensor data from customer vehicles in Germany to help its\nsemi-autonomous vehicle systems learn how users drive.<\/p>\n<p>According to a Carscoops report on Wednesday, data collection will\ncommence on 1 April 2026 from the new BMW iX3 and i3 models.<\/p>\n<p>Supported by technology, the BMW iX3 and i3 will record driving\nactivities and send the data to the company with the vehicle user\u2019s\nconsent.<\/p>\n<p>BMW states that data collection will only occur with customer\nconsent. The company also states it will comply with applicable data\nprotection regulations.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, BMW vehicles will only record events inside and around the car\nin specific incidents if the user agrees.<\/p>\n<p>The company states that this feature is designed to improve systems\nsuch as automatic emergency braking, lane change assistance,\ncross-traffic alerts, as well as driving assistance features on\nmotorways and urban roads.<\/p>\n<p>The system is also intended to protect vehicle occupants as well as\nother road users, including pedestrians and cyclists.<\/p>\n<p>In such situations, the vehicle can record images from external\ncameras as well as data such as speed, steering angle, direction of\ntravel, and other sensor readings.<\/p>\n<p>BMW states that data from real events is far more useful than data\nfrom simulations or tests, as it reflects actual driving behaviour.<\/p>\n<p>The company emphasises that its data collection system is optional\nand only stores video from specific road events.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, vehicle users\u2019 faces and vehicle licence plates will be\nblurred before the data is sent out from the vehicle system to protect\nuser privacy.<\/p>",
