Last-person-standing contests are nothing new, but Mercedes-Benz is bringing the concept into the 21st century. During Sunday's Super Bowl 52, one lucky and very patient fan will win a Mercedes-AMG C43—and all they have to do is keep their finger on their smartphone.

Like physical competitions where contenders keep a hand on the prize until they give up, those attempting to win the AMG C43 will have to keep their finger on and follow a digital version of the car displayed on their smartphone. If the user...

The spot will no doubt prove controversial given the current...
