Also, terrible design for a screw
What is even the point of this? It’ll be about 3 days before the bits are available from Chinese manufacturers, and within a few months they’ll be in every „security bit set“ aimed at cars.
what because you have to by another bit/screwdriver? its really not much different than the fuckton others
Can’t wait for Fords version.
Oh no! It’s my Dremel and a flathead screwdriver.
This is so stupid. Just because they filed a patent, doesn’t mean they’re actually going to use this screw design. Companies file patents all the time, and a lot of those patents don’t turn into actual products.
Besides, if they ever actually end up using this design, the correct bits will be available on the market before the cars even hit the dealerships.
Debate aside, it looks like it would be a decent fastener. Doesn’t seem likely to strip. Easy to slot.
You got to pay a subscription to warm your seats. Idk they aren’t even the best cars in their category. Sad
Clearly BMW does not want business from any customer who can think for themselves, including me.
I really thought those screws were AI generated the first time i saw them and assumed the story wasn’t real because of it… I was fooled in the opposite direction basically thinking reality could not possibly be that absurd
