VOVLO
Maybe need a new set of pants after this one?!

Yes very impressive but does the collision warning just set off an alarm and then you brake or does it brake automatically for you if you don’t react in time.
The Volvo doesn’t half cut it fine, the Merc seems to react much further back.
New underwear required either way though!

On the volvo its automatic and on the merc for a staitonary object it warns.then.driver input is required. I would like to know if either one was loaded or not though!
Wouldn’t want that on the M6. Everyone drives closer than that.
Volvos loaded, management from my place have just been to Sweden courtesy of Volvo to road test the new model, apparently an amazing truck but its a Volvo I wouldn’t expect any less

The Merc system is also automatic, you can have it set up how you want.

And the A1 near West Moor apparently. 
I see more rear end shunts in the future and possibly some jacknifing

Technology is great, may save the life of a stupid person one day!
But no doubt that same stupid person would probably turn it off!
