Volvo says horrible ?self-parking car accident? happened because driver didn?t have ?pedestrian detection?

Volvo says horrible 'self-parking car accident' happened because driver didn't have 'pedestrian detection' | Fusion

Volvo spokesperson Johan Larsson explained that the video is mislabeled. He said the car is not attempting to self-park. ?It seems they are trying to demonstrate pedestrian detection and auto-braking,? said Larsson by email. ?Unfortunately, there were some issues in the way the test was conducted.?

The main issue, said Larsson, is that it appears that the people who bought this Volvo did not pay for the ?Pedestrian detection functionality,? which is a feature that costs more money.

?The Volvo XC60 comes with City Safety as a standard feature however this does not include the Pedestrian detection functionality,? said Larsson. The ?City Safety system? kicks in when someone is in stop-and-go traffic, helping the driver avoid rear ending another car while driving slowly, or under 30 mph.

Keeping the car safe is included as a standard feature, but keeping pedestrians safe isn?t. ?It appears as if the car in this video is not equipped with Pedestrian detection,? said Larsson. ?This is sold as a separate package.?

The tone of this article is making it seem like you're attacking Volvo for not offering an expensive $3,000 feature for free. The only people at fault here were the idiot behind the wheel, and the idiot that allowed himself to get run over by a car.

This has nothing to do with self-park. The person driving the car was trying to demonstrate an auto-braking feature by purposely accelerating the car at full speed toward some standing humans, but didn't know that specific car didn't have that feature. That's like trying to demonstrate a gun's safety mechanism by pointing it at a crowd of people and pulling the trigger, except -- whoops -- this gun doesn't have the safety feature you thought it did.

What you're seeing is idiotic behavior by the person in the driver's seat, trying to look impressive by slamming on the gas with the car pointed at human beings. That doesn't sound like Volvo's fault.

Lol that was strong hit.Hope hes ok

Ouch, pedestrian crossing testing at it's best!

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

I watched it once and I'm still in pain for the idiot who got hit.

But, did he have his hands in his pocket too? Ouch.

Just in the testing stages. Next time hopefully it will take out the entire group!
