I don't think it's weird. I called this a few days: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16658566 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16658566 Having them disable a standard feature isn't per se a problem. However, it is an issue if the car is demonstrably less safe with it removed. It's possible that this car was going too fast for this feature to engage anyway (depends on the age of the XC90: if it was post-2014, it should have kicked in). The Volvo system uses a LIDAR just like the main Uber system. In principle they should have been able to replicate this safety feature pretty much precisely. The question then arises; if they're making modifications on systems like that, what other modifications have they made? Are the modifications correct? The issue with the headlamp angle implies there could be other problems. Modern cars are incredibly complex; pulling out single features might be OK when they are add-ons, but the XC90 ships with a lot of this stuff in every model.
