BMW is taking on Tesla’s FSD with urban driver assist starting in 2027.

宝马将于2027年推出城市驾驶辅助系统，旨在与特斯拉的FSD（全自动驾驶）展开竞争。

BMW will bring navigation-guided city driving to select models via software updates in 2027, taking on Tesla’s FSD while facing growing scrutiny over Level 2 driver safety.

宝马将在2027年通过软件更新，为部分车型提供导航辅助城市驾驶功能，在挑战特斯拉FSD的同时，也面临着外界对二级驾驶辅助系统安全性的日益严格的审查。

BMW says that it will expand its navigation-guided, partially automated driving capabilities into urban environments starting in 2027, launching first in Germany with other markets to follow.

宝马表示，从2027年开始，其导航辅助的部分自动驾驶功能将扩展至城市环境，并将首先在德国推出，随后推广至其他市场。

The new system can help steer, speed up, and slow down the vehicle on both highways and city streets using its built-in GPS navigation. While driving in town, it can assist with changing lanes, making turns, yielding to other cars, and driving through roundabouts.

该新系统利用内置的GPS导航，能够在高速公路和城市道路上辅助车辆进行转向、加速和减速。在城镇驾驶时，它可以协助变道、转弯、礼让其他车辆以及通过环岛。

But as a Level 2 driver assist system, it still requires drivers to keep their eyes on the road and stay ready to take over at any moment. On the highway, BMW will allow drivers to remove their hands from the steering wheel — but on local roads, they’ll need to keep their hands on the wheel.

但作为二级驾驶辅助系统，它仍要求驾驶员保持对路面的关注，并随时准备接管车辆。在高速公路上，宝马允许驾驶员松开方向盘，但在地方道路上，驾驶员仍需手握方向盘。

BMW is the latest automaker to commit to releasing a partially autonomous city driving feature to its customers, as the industry races to keep up with Tesla and its Full Self-Driving (FSD) system.

宝马是最新一家承诺向客户发布部分自动驾驶城市驾驶功能的汽车制造商，整个行业正竞相追赶特斯拉及其全自动驾驶（FSD）系统。

BMW says its system works cooperatively with drivers rather than fighting their control, which means they can steer, brake, or speed up at any point to adjust their driving without shutting the system off.

宝马表示，其系统与驾驶员协同工作，而非争夺控制权，这意味着驾驶员可以在任何时候通过转向、制动或加速来调整驾驶状态，而无需关闭系统。

The necessary cameras and sensors already come built into models like BMW’s 3 Series, 7 Series, X5, iX3, and iX4. BMW can activate the feature through an over-the-air software update.

必要的摄像头和传感器已内置于宝马3系、7系、X5、iX3和iX4等车型中。宝马可以通过无线软件更新来激活该功能。

With more cars equipped with partial automation hitting the road, safety researchers are growing increasingly worried about driver attention and the potential for these systems to cause crashes.

随着越来越多配备部分自动驾驶功能的汽车上路，安全研究人员对驾驶员的注意力以及这些系统引发事故的可能性感到日益担忧。

BMW is entering risky territory with the adoption of a Level 2 driving feature. Much like Tesla, the company is emphasizing that drivers remain responsible for the vehicle even while using the partially autonomous system in urban environments.

宝马采用二级驾驶辅助功能正进入一个充满风险的领域。与特斯拉一样，该公司强调，即使在城市环境中使用部分自动驾驶系统，驾驶员仍需对车辆负责。
