I rented a Volvo S90 to check out their driver assistance, and it was a similar experience after coming from a Tesla. Some of the way things work just didn’t make sense to me, but it wasn’t my car so I wasn’t used to them.
An aside, the Volvo self driving was scary. Not ready for prime time. Surprising given their record for safety
- superhumanuser 3y agoI returned my S90 at the end of a two year lease. The self driving was frightening. It often drifted out of the lines then would jerk back into the lane then disable itself without warning. Also, the start/stop (or w/e it's called whereby the engine turns off when you stop) was such a jerky experience and sometimes it would turn off before I even came to a complete stop. The infotainment system was terribly slow and would take almost a minute after starting for it to become responsive. Typing into the nav was especially sluggish and unintuitive. One time the AC crashed (not the HVAC unit, the computer module) and I had to take it in for a software update to fix. The luxury, look and feel, and comfort were fabulous! The drivetrain and tech were trash!
- Tanoc 3y agoVolvo's been owned by Geely for a few years now, so any weird issues are inherited from them using Geely's home market technology. A lot of Chinese luxury automotive stuff seems to be looks first function second and it's been hitting Volvo hard with the S60 and S90.
