BMW has rolled into this week’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas with a number of new tricks, from a self-driving i3 hatch to a new solar charging system for the home.

Also on display at CES is a preview of BMW’s next-generation iDrive infotainment system, headlined by a new hand-waving gesture recognition.

In current BMW models, functions on the dashtop iDrive display are controlled primarily by a dial-and-buttons combination in the centre console, allowing users to scroll and click their way through various screens.

This coming new version features a larger display and a new non-contact recognition system that allows users to perform hand gestures in the air that are then interpreted and actioned by the iDrive software.
