Trust me, the backup assistant accelerates quickly on its own. You just tap the gas to start it and it keeps accelerating as if you had a foot on the gas.

The messages warn you to keep your foot in the brake. I’ve used it a lot just pulling out of my driveway, so it wasn’t the first time. I always keep my foot on the brake. It is really stupid that it accelerates so fast, seems like an accident waiting to happen....

I’m really over the BMW thing. This car has gotta go. I’ve made up my mind. I’ll take the financial hit and get into a car that makes sense.
