Same happened to Mercedes a few years ago when testing the the Distronic feature of the then-new S-Class (221). Very embarrasing but such things happen, does not discredit the feature in general.

S-Class system work just fine. What happen then was human error. Someone was switch system off and driver didn't notice that.

that's not correct, they switched of the system on purpose and mounted a piece of wood on the floor where the driver should brake. they wanted to make sure that the "test" works but something went wrong and the driver crashed into the back of another car.

Actually, it doesn't look like the airbags worked.

in modern cars at lowish speeds the airbags won't go off because they're not needed. airbags can burn your arms and give you a concussion, so if there's no need for them (such as in this crash) then only a moron would want them to go off.

Sometimes things happens I remember the Mercedes issue too when they testing the system , is time for Volvo to check this important safety feature and eliminate the error. That's ok. Now the Mercedes system is excellent I hope Volvo works in the same way too.

Big Deal, Volvo is Junk now. Everybody's cars are just as safe or safer. Volvo needs a new Selling point since they have been trumped by pretty much everybody. A Safe Volvo is like a Fuel Efficient Chyrsler. Back in the day they were at the cutting edge, now they are just average or even below average.

i doubt Hyundai is anywhere close in any safety test to any Volvo LOL Not that I am trying to compare Hyundai to Volvo lmao I love Hyundai's ORIGINAL designs though LOL Very interesting how they patch worked together parts of different cars and call it a Hyundai then boast their 200hp V6 ummm yeah... Anyhow Volvo is still the leader when it come to safety and safety features without the price tag of a mercedes S-class with the new ORIGINAL design queues it is a hot combination.
