2010 Volvo XC60
We generally applaud new technologies in cars, but the 2010 Volvo XC60’s City Safety feature had us wondering if it was taking tech too far. City Safety uses a forward-looking camera to detect obstacles ahead. If it thinks you are about to hit something, it jams on the brakes, hard. Volvo designed City Safety to prevent low speed collisions, so it doesn’t work above 20 mph. We appreciate that it will prevent distracted drivers from rolling into a stopped car ahead, but what happens in a city parking situation when you need to get really close to other cars so you can maneuver into a parallel parking space?

I totally agree with you. I mean, I love this car but the feature has left some issues as well so I think Volvo should find a way to address this. Anyway, if you want to see some high quality yet affordable auto detailing products wholesale, you should visit one of my favorite sites.
80% percent of all rear end collisions (the most frequent vehicle accident) are caused by driver inattention, following too closely, external distraction (talking on cell phones, shaving, applying makeup, fiddling with the radio or CD player, texting, etc.) and poor judgment. I doubt if we’ll ever stop the madness so I got one of these sparebumper.com to protect my family.
