In existing bmw tech.... if you don’t touch the steering wheel... it disconnects and would literally drive you off the road. This is the biggest failing.
The sensors available in old and new cars appear to be similar.
No reason a software update couldn’t fix this.... but doubtful they will update existing cars to add better driving assistance functionality.
It would require frequent software updates via the new auto upgrade functions in idrive7. My guess is they’d need to first upgrade idrive6 to idrive7.
