Even the preview image from one of the videos above, you can see the driver has his head forced forward.
What the hell, how can you sit like that?

I already get annoyed with the "active" headrests in my E92 that make it really hard to achieve a comfortable seat position, but this looks even worse, like a long drive will truly f**k up my neck.
I believe that is for safety regulations. Has to be a certain degree angle or something I read.

See here: https://www.iihs.org/iihs/sr/statusr...article/40/2/1

And yeah as we can see the safety reg was initiated through a poorly thought out test and with poor understanding of proper posture and use of the head "restraint"
