BMW, created in 1916, has been able to innovate to offer ever more efficient means of transport to its drivers. The latest one?An autonomous motorcycle, which was filmed to demonstrate its power at CES 2019 in Las Vegas earlier this year. But the development of intelligent features also concerns cars.
If more and more are electric or capable of moving without calling on a driver, what speaks to us the most at our consumer level are the possibilities offered when we sit in the passenger compartment.Apple CarPlayis one of these solutions allowing complete multimedia navigation that is less dangerous than on a smartphone.
A questionable pricing policy
Until now, to install thisOSCalifornian on the on-board screen of your car, you had to pay a fairly large sum which, moreover,was far from pleasing everyone. Except, good news: that's about to change!
Indeed, BMW has simply announced that this offer is nowfree, all over the world. For those who have already paid, it is unfortunately too late, but they will not be charged when renewing their subscription which will then be done automatically and free of charge. For others, the price is gradually disappearing depending on the speed at which change affects each country.
What alternatives?
If, however, you quickly need an operating system with a design made for driving, there are other ways to satisfy yourself among the competition. For example, you can opt forAndroidAuto, the equivalent of CarPlay at Google.
The functionalities are similar, but the integration will be more complicated. In fact, thecarsfrom BMW are automatically compatible with Apple's program, because both companies target a more high-end clientele.
