BMW Group First in Germany to Receive International Approval for Advanced Driving Assistants
The BMW Group has become the first German automaker to gain international approval for its innovative driving assistants under the new DCAS regulation. The iX3 electric crossover has been certified according to the UN’s international standard for Level 2 autonomous driver assistance systems.
What’s New:
The DCAS standard sets guidelines for advanced assistants that allow drivers to relax on highways while remaining ready to take control if needed. For instance, the Motorway Assistant can maintain lane position at speeds up to 130 km/h and change lanes automatically—drivers only need to confirm the maneuver with a glance, enabling hands-free driving.
The updated system can also proactively suggest lane changes at exits and junctions. In urban settings, it can brake independently at traffic lights and start from a stop. Additional features will be gradually rolled out via software updates.

Here’s a clear and polished rewrite of your text:
BMW highlights its symbiotic approach, where driver and technology operate seamlessly together. The iX3 is the first vehicle in the world to feature “symbiotic brakes,” allowing drivers to subtly influence electronic assistants through light touches on the steering wheel or pedals without fully deactivating them. These innovations are supported by multiple patented BMW technologies, elevating both comfort and safety.
The Highway and City Driver Assistance System will launch in Germany alongside the BMW iX3. Availability in other countries, as well as the range of functions and system limitations, will vary and be introduced at a later stage.
If you want, I can also combine this with your previous section into a single, smooth article-style version suitable for press release or news format. Do you want me to do that?
