I’m about to do something that I’m certain will elicit a look of disapproval from the weekend driver in the Alps. Perhaps I’ll even see an angry fist waved at me by a law-abiding, stickler-for-the-rules piloting a slick sports car. But since we’re a couple of hours behind schedule, and I have a cross producer sitting in the rear seat of the car urging me to hurry up, I cave. There will be no driving up the mountain pass till I find a relatively safe place at which to pull a U-turn. Instead this very spot at which I am, on a narrow Alpine road with a drop to one side and mountain wall to the other, will have to do. I switch the indicator on, turn the steering wheel all the way to the left, and wait for a gap in the traffic. When I spot one, I gently press down on the accelerator and feel the massive Mercedes-Benz EQS 580 4Matic beginning to move in the direction I’ve pointed it.
