New? this is not new mercedes distronic circa 1998 S-class using radar applies 20% brakes to maintain following distance. Distronic+ capable of max brake will bring the car to a complete stop and one up volvo by accelerating from a stop to maintain flow of traffic without driver input. What would make this new is perhaps its price range. Good theory, but scary in practice.
If anyone want to know what really happened. The morons that where showing the car off had to charge the battery, but they used a to powerful charger so the fried the computer.
Ok so volvo's auto braking doobly-doo failed..... everybody's making a big hoopla about this. Anybody remember the days when people had to pay attention and stop on their own?
Major safety blunder? How do you figure? It is a feature that is meant to automatically brake if the driver is not paying attention, something that most other cars do not have. It is a secondary feature. Some people are so dumb.
@EddieInRealLife Hehe. freak. that's like stating that a lifevest is only a secondary feature - and that it is ok if it doesn't work. People can swim themselves... Pretty stupid comment.
@Danielsbchristensen How do you figure? You do realize that this is NOT the primary brake right? Apples and oranges when it comes to your life vest analogy... Two complete different things. A life vest is meant as a primary safety feature in fatigue inducing situations. Regardless, you began your comment by calling me a freak, anything thereafter is pretty much null and void.
@EddieInRealLife well, both are to be used when shit hits the fan. Security and safety measures should not fail. I hear what you're saying. It just doesn't make sense.
@tueulator this aplicatino is gonna be standard in every car, volvos incident here do showed that poring computers in a car still wont make bad drivers better.
@Craydon Even they don't work... they're usually too short and skinny... I just like using 'Your mom' jokes in inappropriate places, so it bizarre and/or funny.
why is it the evry time you crash a volvo the windscereen wipers goes on. i mean
