I don't think that is right. My understanding is that they didn't HAVE to turn the built-in safety features of the Volvo off to make it work, but instead they had to in order to test their equivalent safety feature. If they have a feature that exactly mimics Volvo's, it can't be tested while Volvo's is active (or at least that is the idea, I think it probably could be tested in some way.)
But then they turned their own safety feature off, because it failed to be as good as Volvo's. And then did not turn Volvo's feature back on.
