It's not officially released yet (no press release, no articles, etc.).
It will be officially released literally in 26 days.
As for these people, I don't know who they are, where they're located, and how they're affiliated with BMW.
Do you make the same comments when someone from this forum (TMC) or reddit or twitter leaks an upcoming feature? Ofcourse not.
Edit edit: I find it sad that bladerskb is resorting to random msg board postings to make his case regarding traffic light features. Like I said, where's the official release article or any videos from consumers of the mfg release traffic control feature? Sadddddd
It sad to see such bias. Again do you make the same statements when it comes to Tesla. Do you call leaks and discussion by verygreen and others on TMC or reddit, "random msg board postings"?
Did bladerskb even read his on link? Here he is accusing me of being wrong all the time? So funny and sad
You clearly did not understand what you are quoting. Your quote was talking about the Assisted Driving View feature which was released in 2019 for MY2020 cars but was excluded from MY2019 cars even though they have the exact same hardware (EyeQ4).
Hackers/Coders were able to enable it for MY2019 and gave everyone instructions on how to do it.
Why does BMW do that? because they want to FORCE you to buy a new model year car.
I don't know if bladerskb is an actual software engineer or not, but I do software and anyone in software knows that the last 20% of software takes 80% of the time. You can quickly build a piece of software to 80% completion, but the final polish and fixing of bugs takes the longest time. Like I said time and time again, there's a huge difference between "having" a feature and widely deploying it to consumers.

I'm glad you said that because TESLA is known to release half-baked software in "beta".
Therefore you can't just compare the official customer release date and claim one person is ahead of another, you have to compare feature maturity date. Look at the failure and mistake rate of traffic light recognition and then later stopping when it was first released. Or how bad and non functioning NOA was when it was first released in October 2018. It barely worked and was practically useless. So when for example NIO's Navigate on Pilot comes out in one week. You can't say they were 2 years late for example. You have to compare their version to the version of Tesla when it became matured and was actually functioning with sufficient success or great deal of success.
Based on NIO's CEO, NOP will be better than NOA
Pleaseeee. Just let the dead horse die. BMW did NOT deploy this feature to consumers yet. Yes, maybe they are adding to their software updates to test it out somehow (like shadow mode), but it's clearly not activated yet. That's why you have these users "coding" it themselves.
Maybe? Every single car from July 2020 has the software but its disabled.
I'm done with this particular discussion. Anyone following it will see how desperate you guys have become.
Desperate? Because your narrative has been debunked?
- What if i told you that BMW had traffic light recognition released to customers before Tesla?
- What if i told you that BMW had red light warning released officially to customers in 2019 before tesla?
- What if i told you that BMW had traffic light, give way and stop signs warning released officially to customers before Tesla?
Yes they did. But just in some markets (EU). Fanfare or hype doesn't mean progress or leadership. People confuse the marketing that elon/tesla does about AP to mean that they are ahead. This is absolutely not true as have been proven.
