Enabling Pilot Assist and Adaptive Cruise Control

FYI, it's not unique to VOLVO, all other makes also clearly say it's for highway driving.

I expect that as I use it more, I will become more attuned to what it can and cannot cope with. My comments weren't intended as a criticism of the performance. I would say it probably works about as well as I would have expected (so-far), just that I don't feel there are enough scenarios where I feel confident it would work that it would be worth the investment of buying the update from Volvo. From a technical perspective, it is still pretty impressive. 
I do think the disengagement could have more advance notice and a more prominent signal, the haptics through the wheel are quite light, especially if you are not gripping the wheel hard. If the driver was on a winding road, and became complacent, I could see the car running off the road quite quickly after disengaging. The ACC also loses the car in front over hills, dips and corners a little easier than I'd hope - I can still see the car, but generally it works really well Smile
