Sure it's a good idea, and good on Volvo for doing something about it, but it's not going to work in all applications.

Well this system obviously isn't going to work in Australia where 90% of our accidents are as a result of speed. Or have the authorities been lying to us...? “Studies show that up to 90% of all motor vehicle accidents occur as a result of the driver being distracted.”
