Testimonial: MG4 Trophy V2 (R46 + module updated) + OP + downhill road= reverse

I share with you a video of this issue:
It's very dangerous for people who are crossing behind the car.

wow - that cannot possibly be a desired feature!?

The one time it happened to me it didn't seem too worrisome. In the split second before 0 MPH it felt inevitable that it was going to happen, and I had automatically braked to a halt within 10-20 cms of starting to go backwards. No idea how far it may have gone if left unchecked, but I suspect much less than in the video.

I think the brain could tell the deceleration wasn't changing and so knew that backwards was the inevitable outcome.

It felt just the same as when we used to muck around off road in my youth and go from reversing to forwards, using the clutch and accelerator but no brake.
