Dream Drive Pro

[EthanTrull]

I don’t want to say anything to diminish the jubilation that I feel over scheduled charging. I’m sure that feature is useful to someone. But it’s not even on my list of reasons why I bought this a car. No offense.

Can any of the insiders comment on the future of Dream Drive Pro? For me, adaptive cruise works well. Highway assist is terrifying. I don’t know how DDP figures out where the lanes are located. My car seems to follow seams in the pavement much of the time (which do NOT correspond with the actual lanes). In an ironic twist, if I try to use Highway Assist, the car frequently displays the lane departure warning even though HIghway Assist is doing the steering. For curiosity’s sake, I tried driving my wife’s Model Y (full self driving) and it is 1000% better on the same roads. Obviously many of the announced DDP features have not materialized. Can anyone even explain the difference between Dream Drive and Dream Drive Pro?

By all means, let’s applaud the updates to critical features like scheduled charging. But can anyone comment on the future of a major as yet not implemented feature like Dream Drive Pro? Or is this as good as it is likely to get?

They are just getting started with Dream Drive Pro. It's still very early days yet.

Not sure how your lane markers are where you drive, but HA does very well for me at keeping me in the lane. But the lanes here are very clearly marked, so maybe that's the difference? It's also possible your car needs to be recalibrated? Some here have reported that their car tends to lean to the left or right of the lane, or ping pong between the two sides. And that can be fixed by service doing a recalibration, I believe. Sounds like you may have more severe issues, though. And maybe the roads themselves are just confusing the car for some reason? I'd contact Customer Care and have them take a look at it.

Dream Drive (not pro) would include adaptive cruise control, but not highway assist. Also not the newer features that are still in development, such as Traffic Jam Assist and Highway Pilot. Those will likely come later this year or next. Also, non-pro does not include the 360-degree camera view. Just the forward and reverse cameras you see on the right cockpit panel.

Hi, @EthanTrull. Thank you for sharing. I just dropped you a DM.

Just for reference in case of some progress:

It looks like Mercedes Drive Pilot L3 is also using HERE for mapping:

The L3 progress is slow as $6,400 BMW Personal Pilot dual level 2 and 3 Automated Driving is now sold in Germany but not in the US.

BMW Pioneers with First Dual-Level Autonomous Driving

BMW is the world’s first carmaker to secure approval for Level 2 and Level 3 autonomous driving technologies. This approach is showcased in the new BMW 7 Series

That would be because it’s partly owned by them. Along with BMW, VW Group, Intel….
