As it happens it's been with the dealers for a couple of days having various minor annoyances attend to (well minor, apart from trying to steer me into a car I was trying to steer round). They have mentioned getting some software from Sweden, perhaps something more useful is included. Don't know why it takes over a day for the software to come from Sweden.

It is prototype software , it needs manually configuring to suit your individual car ..

Hopefully prototype means something different to you than to me, it's making me think of Musk sending out not fully tested updates over the air.

I picked the car up earlier, no trace of the hoped for additional functionality such as traffic voice commands. The lane control seems more intrusive / annoying than before. Something else that was better modulated with the old system.

Voice commands you update yourself like the maps , it's on the same volvo support web page ..

I'd like to see the system used by BMW and Tesla to display surrounding traffic implemented by Volvo. Having a 3D view of what the car is thinking makes it much easier to monitor and keep track of what it might do when using Pilot Assist (in particular the irritating habit of leaping on the brakes when going from lane 3 to lane 2 when there's an HGV in lane 1).
