Meet a car that parks itself, examine life in the fast lane on two wheels, and explore the ins and outs of seat belts. Noteworthy achievements featured in this program include: BMW’s experimental Connected Drive model that can literally put itself to bed; the BMW R 1200S motorcycle, which the company hopes will lure riders away from Japanese and Italian sportbikes; and restraint equipment that can improve both racing and commuter safety, according to F1 expert Christian Danner and Dr. Johannes Stoiber of the Allianz Centre for Technology. An additional segment shows how the computerization of cars is rapidly turning automotive repair into a white-collar profession. Part of the Auto Innovations: The Art and Science of Car Engineering Series of 13 videos.
