The system "works perfectly in all other circumstances", according to Mercedes. For now, though, it may be worth keeping your foot near the brake pedal.


i wouldn't trust this system at all in any circumstances...

guys i don't think that the problem was the presence of steel. if there were actually solid steel walls i think that the reflective characteristics is what caused the problem. like when you try to use your optical mouse on a really shiny surface.

anyways that has to suck. wonder if anyone got fired over it?
