The every-two-year T?V roadworthiness certificate ("Hauptuntersuchung") lacks any ability for in-depth checks of the computer systems. That has been critizised by several pressure groups over the last years.I know the TUV will inspect hydraulic circuits for braking systems, but I don't know that they inspect computer control logic? (I'm assuming this line lock feature merely uses the ABS pump to send pressure to the front wheels, hence its implementation must be via computer control.)
But it's not what I am talking about: The type approval for each new model that is allowed on German roads will be done by a T?V subsidy (or it's equivalent) as well. And they'll check the computers, I am sure.
