In the latest version of MyBMWApp launched on November 25, BMW has begun to gradually restore the remote 3D parking image function.However, this change currently only applies to some iDrive8 and iDrive8.5 vehicle system models, and is not a full restoration. At the same time, some car owners discovered when testing the remote 3D parking imaging function that their system would automatically code faces and license plates to protect the privacy of others and meet relevant laws and regulations.
According to reports, if the rearview mirror is folded while the car owner is using the remote 3D parking image, the system will automatically unfold the rearview mirror.
If the rearview mirror is manually retracted, the 3D remote parking image cannot display the side view, and,It should be noted that the vehicle can only perform the remote 3D view function three times within 2 hours.
According to previous reports, as early as August 2021, relevant departments issued regulations requiring cars to anonymize information such as faces and license plates when collecting video and image data outside the car, so it is temporarily unable to provide clairvoyant call outside car imaging services.
At that time, many car companies announced the removal of the "clairvoyance" function. Now, with the development and improvement of the automatic coding system, many car companies, including BMW, Xpeng, and Li Auto, have re-launched this function.
