Or you can buy the ACC feature afterwards in their Connected Drive store. From what I saw there, it is a one-off payment but no subscription (at least for now).
Same with the parking assistant, I guess most of the hardware will be in every G20.

Perfect way to cut costs, no? Just give every car every option and have the customer choose what they want and pay for it. That way, you don't have to have a million combinations of one car.
