I use it all the time. Just ordered a new car that doesn't have the feature and I'
m already missing it! The BMW hold feature mentioned in post #6 sounds ideal and should be a standard feature on all cars.

I have a friend that had a hip replacement (due to prior car accident) and he bought the newer e-class just for the brake hold feature.
I can definitely see the added safety benefit for distracted drivers (foot might slip off the pedal when reaching for something, etc) and also to keep brake lights on at stops.

My understanding is that it is adaptive ( it would have to be as the amount of pressure will vary depending the gradient of the road you are stopped on) I don't know the response time or how many times per second the brake pressure is adjusted though. i
If you are getting rear ended to the point where the vehicle would move forward i'm pretty sure the grip from the tires would go a lot sooner than the pressure of the pads onto the rotor. Unless this has like just enough pressure to keep it from moving forward?.. i doubt they would design the system like that though.

I just used it for 'launch' the other day and it was pretty cool. Maybe I have to use it more so I can get used to it. Just hard to trust it after years of keeping foot on the brake pedal.

It is a useful feature but to activate it, one requires a lot of practises to perfect it. There are times when it simply refuse to come on. A button instead is therefore a useful suggestion.

they never move back even a centimeter when youre on an uphill as long as youre in drive. if it does, theres something wrong with your car.
