A new safety feature in the BMW iX3 combines radar-based technology with a temporary door lock to help prevent collisions with cyclists in congested urban areas. The system detects approaching riders when the driver opens their door and briefly holds it shut to avoid accidental contact. Designed for low-speed traffic and tight parking spaces, the innovation aims to address a common hazard for both drivers and cyclists. The integration of radar enhances responsiveness in situations where visual cues alone may not be sufficient.
BMW iX3 pairs radar-based exit warning with a brief door hold, reducing dooring risk for cyclists in tight city parking and low-speed traffic.
