The BMW Group at the Mobile World Congress 2018.

The focus on the customer and their requirements underpins the BMW
Group’s presentation of the next steps on the road to digital and
intelligent connectivity between the driver and vehicle at this year’s
Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, taking place from 26
February –1 March.

  • Another handy digital service will be introduced in 2018 to
    further facilitate seamless connectivity. The BMW Digital
    Key
    will make it possible to unlock a BMW using a
    smartphone. What’s more, up to five digital copies of the key can be
    shared with other users.
  • Widespread connectivity will also be an essential requirement for
    autonomous driving inthefuture. In view of this, theoutdoor area of
    the BMW Group stand will feature a BMW i3 in action as part of a
    showcase designed to demonstrate that
    autonomous driving (Level 5) is set to become a
    reality in the not-too-distant future.
  • A new technological approach to full connectivity between
    smartphones and vehicles will also be on show. The eSIM
    will soon make it possible to incorporate the vehicle into
    the user’s existing mobile phone contract, paving the way for a
    whole range of different functions.
