I guess the proof will be in the lower premiums after a few years of this cars being on the road

Good point. I considered the XC60 for the missus, but I am going to wait for the new s60 next year which ooks better and is meant to have a better system (probably improve with real testing). The system isnt really a buying point for me, any more than the adaptive cruise control is, but I’m not knocking either.

This system is completly useless as it only works when you have no feet on the pedals. I would love to find out what percentage of accidents occur at less then 30km/h when the driver is applying no pressure at all to the pedals?

Actually I love how the rest of the general media have been touting this as the best ever life saving technology (see some 6:30pm Tabloid style commercial TV shows something curren that you can see today or tonight ;-))
If only they realised that this is a speed limited device.

I was just about to reply with “no more talgating volvo drivers” haha, but then noticed it’s only up to 30 km/h. It’s a good idea, those systems should be implemented by all brands I think.
