The whole Toyota brake thing is American propaganda. When i was younger if i ran over a little puddle my dads car would lose its power steering and brakes and i would almost crash but nobody recalled the car ,we just avoided puddles.

@scaremengaviation Failsafes are nice, but they seem to make people more reckless to start with. "Oh, it's fine if I text, do my makeup, listen to the radio full blast, smoke, read headlines, and drive - my Volvo will brake for me. The same goes for Bluetooth systems in cars (Don't get me wrong, I have one, but I still prefer to not talk while driving). They give people a sense of ease. Even though you now have both hands on the wheel, your mind still isn't fully on the road. That's the danger

@ineverrememberthese Exactly. The person is scared shitless in such a hypothetical situation and can't think properly. That's when having said "City Safety" feature is a good thing. To react when you can't act. There's not one failure of the feature... I've seen two. And both of those were demonstrations. The one where the S60 (?) hit the truck happened on one of Volvo's testing grounds... so... it's a test. And even if it fails, it's still nice to have a failsafe, no?

[ineverrememberthese]

@scaremengaviation My point is driver error in this case usually means a person means to brake and instead hits the accelerator. Unless the two are right next to one another... Also, while you're looking at the City Safety feature, you can also find that one video where it fails to function properly and the nice volvo goes under a lorry. It's nice that volvos can come with that feature, but honestly, you should be paying enough while on the road to avoid that sort of accident to begin with.

@ineverrememberthese Driver error... the car should be designed in a manner that it can protect against such errant driver errors. Obviously once a person realizes he/she might crash into something he acts on impulse, rather than carefully-processed thought, to prevent getting into such a crash. At that point, it's up to the car to take over. Look at Volvo's "City Safety" feature.
