While cool in concept, this is another example where Germans are too conservative/slow to embrace tech and develop a great use case.
Tesla wasted no time to make additional use of its cameras but there are too many limitations on the Drive recorder to make it useful IMO.
1. get better cameras- 4K 60hz. - great resolution to capture license plates day/night/poor weather.
2. Continuous recording with upload to BMW Connected Drive Cloud - Would actually be worth a subscription fee (to me)
3. Opt-in to record drive data on screen (gps data, date/time stamp, speed)
4. Parking protection with extended recording up to 7 days - this would fit well with the remote view functionality
Would be easy to make this a selectable option when buying the car. Get base functionality for free, pay $500 for a full dash cam security package.
