Left-Hand Targeted Illumination And Right-Hand Targeted Illumination: Notes

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 31 other vehicles, including the 2015 BMW Alpina B7L, 2015 BMW Alpina B7, 2015 BMW 750i, 2015 BMW 750Li, and 2015 BMW 740i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Through the targeted illumination of persons on the roadway, the targeted illumination system raises the safety for all parties. A remote infra-red camera records the area in front of the vehicle and warns against persons on the street.

Depending on the environmental conditions, the targeted illumination system works in a range of approx. 30 to 100 meters. Persons, who are warned in this range, are illuminated with a targeted light beam. At the same time, a beam of light on the roadway guides the driver's attention from the vehicle up to the person in danger.
