That’s a safety hazard… Which means the brake subscription plan isn’t optional. It’s mandatory. And you can only use the Mercedes authorized brake pads, as third party brakes would present a safety hazard and are thus illegal. Failure to remain on the Mercedes Safe Subscription package will result in the forfeiture of you vehicle.
Edit: put a brake on breaks
I am surprised there is no DRM “approved” OEM brake pads. You already have to plug your brake pads in for the brake pad wear sensor for some cars. Wouldn’t be a stretch to run another wire and have a chip to identify itself so you can “keep yourself safe” by using OEM pads.
“Brake” is in the original post twice.
No plz. Don’t give them more ideas…
“advanced auto driving” are already usually packaged as a subscription, just a matter of time before auto braking common on newer cars is moved to the subscription tier
Actually no, I want to see which company can actually be persuaded to do this. Judging by how things are going I think we need to find a way to make an AI suggest it.
Speeding in a traffic jam under the rain? A subscription won’t save your brain.
Does anyone else get a weird optical illusion like movement or something like that? My brain went into like a half second panic mode when I scrolled by it while it was enlarged.
motion blur baby!
