PDC - make sure this operates from 4MPH going forwards into parking spaces rather than relying on activating a switch, the present set up is nuts
Interesting point. I agree that manual activation for getting into parking spaces drives me nuts.

However, putting my engineering hat on, I am not sure if the system can be made to differentiate between a parking wall and a regular slow down at a stop light with a car in front of you. Thus, the PDC will go on at every stop light driving you nuttier. Any ideas on a proposed design?

Another thing that drives me nuts is when the steering wheel blocks my view of the speedometer. It becomes tough to see the range from 60 mph - 100 mph. A possible solution...LED speedometer?

The Merc system for PDC works well and is activated going forwards and rarely came on in slow traffic, it is technically possible
