    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.

    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.

    At least you got the windshield package. Most other cars come with the webcam view only. Pretty laggy.
