Ingenious way of making sure you’re still alive behind the control.

Also, if you do it just right... im sure the car gets really excited too.

Basically they need the gesture to be deliberate. I would probably use my thumb like the old iPod days!

Nice, but public parking garage in the U.S. would be safe enough to do that?

Also no Android, no care.

Not seeing the point here. Technology for technology’s sake?

Why yes. if BMW does it, so does Mercedes and vice versa.

So did M-B’s marketing gurus figure out many of their customers have narrow garages/parking situations to justify this potential legal nightmare when the car surges forward and kills someone?

It has to be a Europe thing, it just has to be. They apparently have insanely small garages and no driveways.

I’m sure MB/BMW will fire back with: “Well if the driver cant see past the garage door opening... this will allow him/her to exit and carefully back the vehicle out of the garage while watching for traffic”

(while dodging traffic)
