The collision avoidance system was engaged, i was driving during a rain storm at night at 45 mph, and the collision avoidance alarm went off without anything in front of my car, then the brakes slammed on by themselves and the car behind me had to swerve onto the shoulder to avoid hitting me in the rear
New vehicle (less than 19000 miles) - vehicle was stationary - in a parking lot, ignition off. approximately 10 to 15 minutes later, fire ignited in engine bay, rapidly spreading to the whole car... entire care burned to shell.
The vehicle has a automatic park out function that failed and hit car behind me with no time for reaction. this is a safety hazard. volvo refuses to acknowledge the issue. this park out function should be disabled until they have a solution that prevents the car from hitting other objects.
I was using the parallel park assist and the car slammed into the curb damaging the rims. the dealer insists that there is no malfunction. the curb was of the perfect height and it was a very scary situation
This is in regards to the observed behavior of a uber self-driving vehicle in pittsburgh, pa. on may 8th 2017 around 7:30pm edt, i was driving on center ave towards the intersection of center and south highland ave, and an uber xc90 was passing through the intersection heading in the opposite direction. a pedestrian was waiting to cross at the curb nearest to the approaching volvo, standing a little close to the edge but definitely not in the street. the volvo was in the center of its lane and had ample space to pass the pedestrian. just as it reached the curb/crosswalk, it suddenly jerked to its left and very quickly swung back to return to lane center in a tight arc. it came close to the opposing lane and may have crossed over. it didn't appear to brake or slow down at any point. it's impossible for me to know if the uber was in self-driving mode at the time, but the (unnecessary) evasive maneuver by the volvo was unlike anything i have ever witnessed of a human driver.
