In terms of new technology, BMW can be said to make all car fans shine. First, the lifting gear lever technology was introduced, and then the electronic ink (E-ink) technology was introduced at CES 2022, which can make the car body change color with one button. Recently, BMW has new trends in new technology, this time it is directly related to driving. BMW applied for a brand-new steering wheel. There is an angled handle element on the steering wheel with two handles on it. No matter which angle you turn, it will point upwards. When the vehicle drives automatically or does not need to use the steering wheel, the two handles can be folded inward to reduce the space occupation, and the folded steering wheel will be folded inward as a whole, which looks very sci-fi.
It is reported that this patent has been applied not only in the United States, but also in Germany and China. However, although the patent has been applied, BMW officials have not disclosed whether this technology will be mass-produced in the future.
