Since the 2nd half of that just 4 minute and 10 second video talked about how dangerous this is because of the clear inadequacies of modern auto pilot systems, and therefore how Volvo (and Tesla and the like) should really get their $hit together and make the attention detection systems harder to defeat, I'm surmising you didn't spend more than about 100 seconds pondering all this before spouting off. Or, maybe you did watch it all and just wanted to be a troll, that could be possible too, sneaky... And now look what you've done, crushed my naïve American assumption that people with British accents are well educated thoughtful people...sigh.
Cheers!



ps, it was a California Orange

Being a polite Englishman I will not try and defend the comments made against you.

However I am not sure that doing something dangerous and making a video of it, then saying that the manufacturers should up their game and stop you being able to do it really excuses the act.

A bit like shoplifting and making a video to show how easy it is then saying that Tesco (Walmart is the American translation of Tesco) should increase their security....

Anyway I am just going to put my hat on, pick up my umbrella and leave the office for home. Toodle Pip!

If you would care to re-read what he actually wrote, he called you an 'effing prick', there was no mention of race. Then you start trying trolling by belittling the English. Well done. You have just proved his point beyond any shadow of a doubt.

And if you would care to re-read what *he* wrote

1. "American" isn't a race.
2. The OP didn't even mention the English, let alone try to belittle them.

Well done to you, too.

Steady on old beans. We are British. This is not very gentlemenly behaviour.
