Tragically, nine people\u2014including the BMW driver and their 18-month old child\u2014were injured and one person was killed, a 33 year old woman.<\/p>\n<p>The initial police report claimed that the car was using its Level 2 semi-autonomous driver-aids during the time of the crash. However, BMW has issued a statement claiming otherwise.\u00a0\u201cWe can confirm that there was an accident involving a BMW brand vehicle in the district of Reutlingen on Monday.\u201d the statement said. BMW claims it\u2019s currently in contact with the authorities but that the \u201cBMW vehicle involved was not an autonomously driving vehicle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/bmw-ix-m60-oxide-grey-45.jpg\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-425652\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/bmw-ix-m60-oxide-grey-45-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"bmw ix m60 oxide grey 45 830x553\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/bmw-ix-m60-oxide-grey-45-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/bmw-ix-m60-oxide-grey-45-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/bmw-ix-m60-oxide-grey-45-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/bmw-ix-m60-oxide-grey-45-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/bmw-ix-m60-oxide-grey-45.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of bmw ix m60 oxide grey 45 830x553\"\/><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-medium wp-image-425652\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20830%20553%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/bmw-ix-m60-oxide-grey-45-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"bmw ix m60 oxide grey 45 830x553\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/bmw-ix-m60-oxide-grey-45-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/bmw-ix-m60-oxide-grey-45-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/bmw-ix-m60-oxide-grey-45-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/bmw-ix-m60-oxide-grey-45-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/bmw-ix-m60-oxide-grey-45.jpg 1920w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of bmw ix m60 oxide grey 45 830x553\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The statement also made it clear that the Level 2 system in all iX models is just a driver assistance system and the driver must be alert while the system is in operation.

BMW\u00a0said it was in close contact with the authorities to establish the exact circumstances of the crash.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously, the crash was awful and the health of the nine injured people are the main concern, especially the child.
