Certain BMW 5-Series and 7-Series models (including the i5 and i7) could have a steering wheel that doesn't know where your hands are when they're in driver assist mode
Back in June, a hacker discovered that some Tesla vehicles were equipped with a hidden Elon Mode that allowed Autopilot to operate without checking that the driver's hands were on the wheel. A BMW supplier has accidentally created a similar mode for certain 5-Series and 7-Series models. Unlike the American company, the German company's hands-off driving mode was accidental, and it is now recalling a total of 9,211 examples in the U.S.
Eventually, it was determined that a misaligned drilling process caused the borehole for the ground connection to the steering wheel to be produced out of spec. As a result, the connection between the cable and the wheel could loosen, causing the capacitance measurement for the hand detection system to provide a false positive. Fortunately, BMW hasn't received any reports of accidents or injuries as a result of this error, but it could still have serious consequences.
