“This will make every waiting situation inside the vehicle, such as charging, an enjoyable moment,” said Stephan Durach, head of BMW group connected company development.

Setting up gaming in the car is claimed to be seamless. Players only need a smartphone, which serves as the game controller, and the cars’s curved display. The connection between the smartphone and the vehicle is established by scanning a QR code in the vehicle.

AirConsole got to work with the automaker via the BMW Startup Garage programme.
