The BMW system uses heat sensors? What happens when the heated steering wheel is on? |
I'd like to know how it knows. But I doubt it's heat sensors. |
That's why I asked; a heat sensing system seems like it would be incredibly unreliable and problematic. My Volvo's pilot assist looks for occasional steering inputs from the driver. It really only requires a subtle twitch of a finger. I know Mercedes uses sensors in the steering wheel to detect tactile pressure. I would assume the X7 uses one or both of those approaches.
