What is BMW's integrated gesture control and how does it work?

I recently purchased a BMW 7 Series and noticed that it has integrated gesture control. Can you explain how it works and how I can use it effectively while driving?

Integrated gesture control is a new feature in BMW's 7 Series that allows you to control certain functions of your car, such as volume and calls, with simple hand gestures. You can use it while driving by placing your hand in front of the display and making a rotating motion with your finger to adjust the volume. You can also swipe left or right to answer or reject incoming calls.

My advice would be to practice using the gesture control while stationary before attempting to use it while driving. It's important to familiarize yourself with the gestures and how they correspond to different functions in the car. Also, always keep your eyes on the road and use the gesture control when it is safe to do so.

I have found that using the gesture control while driving can be distracting at first, but once you get comfortable with it, it can be a convenient way to control your car's functions without taking your hands off the wheel. Just be sure to use it responsibly and always pay attention to the road.
