April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month, and many drivers may have questions about how BMW safety features can help. More than 3,200 people lost their lives in distraction-related crashes in 2024 alone. At Fields BMW Orlando and Winter Park, we believe the most elegant engineering is the kind that quietly keeps your attention where it belongs: on the road ahead.
Active Driving Assistant: An Attentive Co-Pilot
Most new BMW models come equipped with Active Driving Assistant, a sophisticated suite of BMW safety features that monitors the road and responds before a momentary lapse becomes something worse. Frontal Collision Warning with City Collision Mitigation detects potential impacts and can apply the brakes automatically at speeds up to 35 mph. Active Blind Spot Detection alerts you with visual cues on the side mirrors and gentle steering wheel vibrations if a vehicle enters your blind zone during a lane change. Lane Departure Warning senses unintentional drift and provides a corrective prompt to guide you back. These systems work in concert, creating a layered awareness around your vehicle that complements your own.
Voice Control and the BMW Curved Display™
Distraction often starts with something simple: reaching for a phone, adjusting navigation, or changing a song. The BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant addresses this by responding to natural voice commands, allowing you to adjust the climate, pull up directions, or make a call without lifting a hand from the steering wheel. The available BMW Curved Display™ places essential information in your line of sight through a seamlessly integrated instrument cluster and center touchscreen, reducing the need to look away from the road.
