How about the safety options, blind spot warning, lane assist, brake assist... Do they work well?

I rather like blind spot, it also detects pedestrians and vehicles crossing behind you when reversing which is especially useful when reversing out of an end in parking bay, I imagine on an XC70 being a good bit longer than my car it is even more useful there.
Mine has lane departure warning rather than an aid to keep you in the lane, which almost always works correctly, sometimes gets fooled by temporary roadworks where the old lane markings get burnt off. Never had brake assist kick in thankfully.
