Recently, we learned from relevant sources that BMW will launch the ramp assist function (Auto Lane Guidance) in China, which complements the automatic lane change function with line of sight confirmation (both exist at the same time and is part of the autopilot assistance system Pro) to bring drivers a more convenient and comfortable driving experience.
Starting from the new BMW 5-Series (parameter | inquiry) family, BMW has introduced automatic lane change with line-of-sight confirmation (Auto Lane Change).
At present, this function also supports 7 series, i7, X5, X6, X7, X7, XM, XM, X5 M and X6 M.
, 
, ramp assist function (ALG) is an extension of automatic lane change assist (ALC) with line of sight confirmation.
When driving assistance is turned on and vehicle navigation is turned on when driving on a closed road (such as a highway or ring road), the vehicle will issue a lane change notice in advance when the vehicle navigation route needs to leave the closed road, and at this time, using the automatic lane change assist function with line of sight confirmation (turning to the right rearview mirror), the vehicle will automatically change lane to the right lane (ramp) to exit the closed road.
At the same time, the dashboard shows the distance from the ramp exit (for example, 600m).
, 
, it is worth noting that the above picture shows the automatic lane change assist function (ALC) with line of sight confirmation, and the Chinese prompt is “Please check the road condition to change to a faster lane”, but in the newly launched ramp assist function (ALG), the prompt changes to “the current route needs to change lanes, please check the road condition” and displays the distance from the ramp in real time (e.g. 600m).
What is the difference between ramp assist (ALG) and automatic lane change assist (ALC) with line-of-sight confirmation: automatic lane change assistance with line-of-sight confirmation (ALC) only changes to faster adjacent lanes, while ramp assistance (ALG) takes the ramp directly into the ramp and out of the highway or ring road according to the guidance of the vehicle navigation route.
, 
, it is worth mentioning that both ramp assist (ALG) and automatic lane change (ALC) with line of sight confirmation require some prerequisites: turn on the automatic lane change assist function and the attention monitoring camera in the central control screen.
turn on the driving assistance function (keys on the steering wheel).
drive on closed highways, loops or expressways The speed is not lower than 60km/h (ramp auxiliary function is 65km/h).
