I've driven the BMW X5, which has a voice function that's quite convenient. While driving, you can press the voice button on the steering wheel or simply say 'Hello, BMW' to control the navigation and set a destination, such as going to a nearby coffee shop; you can also adjust the music to switch playlists or change the temperature and fan speed. It saves you from manual operations and enhances safety, especially during traffic jams. The system responds quickly and understands natural Chinese. I sometimes use it to make phone calls, and the recognition is accurate. It comes standard in new models, while older models may have it as an optional feature. The overall experience is smooth, and I recommend everyone try it for more focused driving.
The BMW X5 indeed features a voice control system based on intelligent iDrive technology. Users can activate it by saying "Hello, BMW" to control navigation, air conditioning, entertainment, and more. The system supports fuzzy commands and learns user habits to improve accuracy. Newer models come with the standard version pre-installed, while older models (pre-2018) may require an upgrade package. Operation is simple, activated via steering wheel or center console buttons. Compared to older versions, it shows significant improvements with faster response times and stronger voice recognition. Safety-wise, it helps reduce distracted driving incidents. During maintenance, it's recommended to check microphone sensitivity.
