MB Technology Inspiration
Are there any other golfers here?

I just had an epiphany. I now know where MB is getting its inspiration for new technology ... GOLF CARTS!

Consider the HOLD function where, after coming to a stop, you press hard and fast on the brake pedal and the brakes will hold the car automatically until you hit the gas. Golf carts have had the feature forever!

Consider the new engine start/stop where when stopped the engine shuts off and restarts when you press the accelerator. Gasoline powered golf carts have always had this feature!

Well MB, if you need an additional consultant you can find me on the golf course continuing my technical research.

Regards,
Don

You may be on to something...but I haven't yet found the ball or tee holder in the MB.

I do know the greens keeper gets really pissed off if I drive my E down the fairway.
