The car seems strongly inspired by the Apple Car. The car looks futuristic and runs on BMW’s own software. In addition, the car is equipped with advanced technological features. With this car, BMW has a direct competitor for the Apple Car.
This is what the BMW i Vision Dee looks like
The new car already looks futuristic from the outside, but is also equipped with the latest technological gadgets on the inside. For example, the windscreen consists of one large screen, on which you receive directions or read your notifications using AR (augmented reality). The car is partly controlled with Dee, BMW’s voice assistant.
Dee – actually BMW’s Siri – recognizes the driver’s identity and opens the doors automatically. The voice assistant also supports you while driving. And can’t you choose which color car you want? Then you have no worries with the BMW i Vision Dee, because the outside of the car can change into any color.
Futuristic cars appear in quick succession
The BMW i Vision Dee and the Apple Car are reportedly appearing relatively shortly after each other. BMW’s smart car will appear in 2025, while the Apple Car is expected in 2026. The first design of the Apple Car must be completed in 2024, so that it can be tested in 2025. The Apple Car will then be launched on the market in 2026, at most one year after the BMW i Vision Dee.
Nothing is yet known about the price of the BMW i Vision Dee, but it will probably be a hefty price tag. By comparison, the price for the Apple Car will be around $100,000, which is the “cheapest” version. The BMW i Vision Dee is expected to be cheaper, but how much that will be exactly remains to be seen.
