Why the BMW iX isn't ready for level 3 autonomous driving

Back in 2018, BMW showed the iNext concept car and told us when the real thing launched in 2021 it would be ready for ‘level 3 autonomous driving’. But the autonomous driving (AD) remains a mirage. BMW isn’t ready. But level 3 is competing against more and more capable level 2+ systems [where the driver is still responsible]. There is a huge technical step between level 2+ and level 3.”Weber, like all engineers in the field, agrees it’s much too hard at the moment to have autonomous drive in towns.
