First car I've had without a mechanical parking brake, so maybe the A4 is typical, but why don't they just set the brake to come on automatically when you put the transmission in park and turn it off?

I've stopped putting the transmission in park. To turn off the engine I just press the start/stop button. That puts the transmission in P and half the time sets the hand brake - when it doesn't, I set the brake manually.

For my car the parking brake activation is not related to an incline. In my garage it sets sometimes and not others. Same thing in other level locations. Does Audi update the car's software when it is in for service? We are all accustomed to updates for operating systems and apps, so I would think Audi would be doing the same to correct glitches and make improvements. They could even do it over the air as Tesla does if they were really committed to the best technology.
