BMW drive recorder
Can anyone confirm if it's just the 2020 models that come with drive recorder with the tech pack. Is it on 2019 models? The online video I've seen of it has apps I've not seen on my ID7

It can be ordered for 2020MY but it's not 100% clear if it will be available as an additional ConnectedDrive service. I'm fairly confident it will be offered as a chargeable service, just not sure when.
It's activated on my car in coding (by default) so I'm guessing BMW plan to offer a retro fit for vehicles with the following services: - 6U3 Live Cockpit Pro - 5DN Park Assist Pro - 6AE TeleServices It's an app so would be delivered in a similar way to the caring car and experience apps. I have all of the apps in the videos except for ParkNow/ParkMobile which is a CD service not available in the UK. You may be confusing the new icons with new apps - the icons got a lot prettier with one of the firmware updates. Somewhere between 03/2019.35 and 07/2019.47 |

According to my dealer all X5 with 360 camera system are technologically ready to implement the drive recorder (only software matter).
However, the obstacle is the EU legal regulations in the field of personal data protection (other people are recorded ...). If not for them they could implement it in every BMW with iDrive7 and 360 cameras. At least that's the information I got from the dealer - I asked about a week ago. p.s. Maybe the Brexit will help You Guys |

Think they are right on the 360 cam requirement.
It did occur to me that there might be general privacy concerns but the Drive Recorder can be ordered on MY2020 G05 in the UK so that doesn't seem to be a hard block, at least not in the UK. https://www.bmw.co.uk/content/dam/bm..._PriceList.pdf Brexit might help with auto lane change and eTJA though |

That's because OTA i-step upgrades are not being used yet. You would need to ask your dealer to upgrade you. Just mention one of the dozen or so bugs that are present up to 03/2019. CarPlay is a favourite.

I wonder what people actually look like when the cars cams see them? You know how the various cams stitch their views together, right? Can someone conduct a test with their remote viewing app and people on all four sides the car so we can see what they actually look like? I know if won't be a video but I'm wondering if you can even discern who the people are or will you just see distorted faces?

So, lets say someone vandalized your car and you caught it on video, would it be any good? Or would you just see arms, legs, distorted faces..in which case, as some have mentioned here, it wouldn't do any good for vandalism. From a dash cam viewpoint where it records cars on the road such that you can tell if an accident is your fault or the other guy, I would think this was its intention...to break into the dash cam market. Yes...no? Anyone want to try it? |

Distorted to YOU isn't necessarily so for the computer. Perhaps you can't see a visage because it's at an edge of a fisheye image, but it's easy enough to correct in software, as I said before, the system already does it ALL THE TIME for the 360 view, in ways which are way, WAY more complicated and mathematically complex than just straight defishing a static picture of someone.
The cameras are fisheye /because/ that's the most optimal way of capturing as much of the field of view as you can possibly do with any optical systems. The software to 'de-fisheye' a part of it is well known as well. I'm a landscape photographer, and one of my favourite lens is a fisheye!

Yep! We have a house in Rhayader, 15m from there.
Notice the perspective tho, it doesn't look fisheye, but it covers nearly 180 degrees horizontally if you know the place...
