 Hey folks, this is Jordan from The Verge and I'm here with the BMW i8 Spider Concept, a new car that BMW is showing off here at CES 2016. But we're going to look at the inside rather than the outside. This is AirTouch, which is BMW's vision for the future of autonomous driving, or at least what the driver will be doing while the car is driving itself. The screen itself is actually pretty far away from the driver, so it's definitely not a touchscreen, but what you can do is sort of use it like an iPad and wave your hand in front of the screen. You can just wave your hand in the air and change between different modes, from navigation, to media, to calling, or future things like controlling your smart home. There's a button on the steering wheel that lets you actually make a selection, something BMW said was necessary because people were accidentally selecting things when the car hit a bump. If you want something more comfortable, you can use this in the center console, which is where the iDrive would usually be on a normal BMW. Just wave your hands above this mysterious BMW technology, and it's just like waving your hands in front of the cameras above. In past years, CES shows have focused on the autonomous driving technology itself, but as we get closer to that, car companies are looking forward to see what the driver will actually do while the car is driving. And that's the interior of the new BMW i8 Spider Concept and AirTouch, its vision for the future of autonomous driving.

 Hey folks, this is Jordan from The Verge and I'm here with the BMW i8 Spider Concept,
 a new car that BMW is showing off here at CES 2016.
 But we're going to look at the inside rather than the outside.
 This is AirTouch, which is BMW's vision for the future of autonomous driving, or at least
 what the driver will be doing while the car is driving itself.
 The screen itself is actually pretty far away from the driver, so it's definitely not a
 touchscreen, but what you can do is sort of use it like an iPad and wave your hand in
 front of the screen.
 You can just wave your hand in the air and change between different modes, from navigation,
 to media, to calling, or future things like controlling your smart home.
 There's a button on the steering wheel that lets you actually make a selection, something
 BMW said was necessary because people were accidentally selecting things when the car
 hit a bump.
 If you want something more comfortable, you can use this in the center console, which
 is where the iDrive would usually be on a normal BMW.
 Just wave your hands above this mysterious BMW technology, and it's just like waving
 your hands in front of the cameras above.
 In past years, CES shows have focused on the autonomous driving technology itself, but
 as we get closer to that, car companies are looking forward to see what the driver will
 actually do while the car is driving.
 And that's the interior of the new BMW i8 Spider Concept and AirTouch, its vision for
 the future of autonomous driving.
