Everything indicates that electrification will be the future of the car. The manufacturers are turning with technology and looking for solutions so that their vehicles do not lose identity. That is also extensible to the most sports and radical variants. He BMW Vision Driving Experience It is a prototype that has arrived to demonstrate as far as they can reach, a test bench rolling with countless new solutions. Although it will not come to production, we want to think that it could be the prelude to an electric M3 futurea model that will end.
Hopes are put in the Neue Klassethe next generation of BMW electric that is already brewing and will reach production at the end of this year. Now with the Vision Driving Experience they have decided to look for their limits in the dynamic behavior section. Being an electric, they have focused on increasing efficiencywith an eye on having record autonomies. The crown jewel is the control unit, which have baptized as Heart of Joy, and that could be in some cars of the future.
With this element it has been possible to control important functions of driving such as transmission, brakes, load, recovery or direction much faster. The software BMW Dynamic Performance Control Multiply the results by ten and make precision improve. In fact, it is like having four control units on a single high performance computer and the result achieved in the BMW Vision Driving Experience is brutal. So much so, that it can manage an 18,000 nm motor torque and channel it exemplary.
The emphasis is also emphasized Energy recovery during braking of this electric. To achieve maximum efficiency, the functions of transmission and driving dynamics have been combined, so that there are hardly any delays in the sending of information and the latency is milliseconds. In fact, they say that the conventional brake should not be used in 98 % of the time, leaving it for emergency situations. This will cause one 25 % efficiency improvement approximately.
In cars that equate the system you can see greater safety and poise in curves. As a curiosity, in the BMW Vision Driving Experience prototype they have installed in the some light tires They respond to the following code: green for accelerations, blue for energy and orange recovery for braking. Although the design is highly camouflaged, you can see a Berlina silhouette that could be similar to the one we will see in the next series 3 electric.
