Human-Machine Interaction System is a product of the development of information technology. Definition of Human-Machine Interaction System: The Human-Machine Interaction System is a product of the development of information technology. This system enables dialogue between humans and vehicles, similar to a computer's Windows. Through this system, owners can easily access vehicle status information (fuel consumption, speed, mileage, current location, vehicle maintenance information, etc.), road condition information, cruise control settings, Bluetooth hands-free settings, and adjustments for air conditioning and audio. BMW's iDrive System: BMW's iDrive system can be considered a pioneer in human-machine interaction systems, with its first-generation product already in practical use as early as 2001. Currently, BMW models in China are equipped with the second-generation iDrive system, which improves upon the older version primarily by adding seven shortcut keys and comprehensively upgrading and refining the operation interface. Compared to Audi's MMI system, BMW's iDrive is slightly more complex in terms of operation. However, it is not difficult to master, as it generally follows intuitive operation habits. The seven shortcut keys around the knob are arranged closely, all within the reach of a single hand's five fingers, meaning the iDrive system is entirely under the driver's control. The second-generation iDrive system features an 8.8-inch high-resolution display in the BMW 3 Series, while the display in the 7 Series is even larger. Moreover, the screen resolution reaches 1280x80, the highest among the three models. In practice, the BMW iDrive interface is the clearest and most aesthetically pleasing. Even in the BMW 325i Sport model, the iDrive system already includes a car TV and Bluetooth hands-free functionality. By enabling the phone's Bluetooth function and searching for the BMW, then entering the same pairing password, the phone can be connected to the iDrive. Additionally, BMW's iDrive system offers multiple vehicle parameter adjustment and viewing functions. Particularly in the vehicle service requirements section, owners can view various maintenance items, including engine oil, brake fluid, and front and rear brake pads. The system will notify the owner when maintenance is needed based on the vehicle's usage, providing significant convenience.
