First thing I thought of the headlights as soon as you said it was hidden behind the daytime lights was exactly the same, it's another tech feature which has a risk of breaking and going wrong. Personally the single strip thor design on the current generation looks better as well than the joined up squares or rectangles, but styling opinion is subjective.

[@venomtailOG]

The irony. Volvo, the brand about safety, in these new cars does as much as they can to get your eyes off the road so you can fiddle with touch controls. OG Volvo's turning in its grave.

Time to stop calling it an infotainment system. It's the car's control panel. And it sucks that a $100,000 vehicle has most everything controlled through that control panel. Distracted driving that Volvo should have never accepted as normal. They of all companies should know better.

[@jameskole3584]

Oddly enough, Volvo were one of the first manufacturers outside of Tesla to introduce touchscreen infotainment. The current generation cars which came out in the mid to late 2010's all have touchscreen infotainments. Tesla started, Volvo were one of the next ones, others then started to follow, either on the next generation or on the mid life facelifts. Might have been someone else after Tesla (or maybe even before), but Volvo were one of the early ones to move to touchscreen only infotainment.

Once again the cost cutting measures are awful and so un-volvo like. This trend is totally unacceptable and should not be normalised. No rear windows switch controls on a nearly 100k car? No shades for the glass roof? Even a Renault Scenic E comes with an electrochromic roof! And i do have a question, what are the regulations regarding the hazard lights button now? I thought in the past that had to be a physical button at least, but now like here, they slapped it on a little corner of the center screen. What if the screen fails? You basically have control over nothing

They really should have done the electric chromic glass for the sunroof even tho they yap about not needing it, at that price you’d expect such feature, considering you starting to see it in cheaper vehicles

[@cbotten106]

Yap about not needing it because it's a glaring omission, especially without even rolling cover.

[@_Glasody]

the EX90 not having an electronic sunroof cover at that price is really strange, even the cheaper XC40/EX40 has it. I find the EX90 has made some weird design choices. And they brought a lot over from the cheaper EX30, especially the single window buttons and the capacitive steering wheel buttons which in my opinion were the were feeling when I test drove the EX30.

[@masterphoenixpraha]

That looks really cool. Two remarks - I indeed HATE that iPad from 2010 instead of the display. Couldn't they go for some nicer display with almost no frame? This looks really dated in this quite modern interior. I could live with that in a Polestar 2, but in this very new car - not really. And I noticed in some shots that very strong glare from the display when the sun was low and was coming from back. Would be interesting to hear about that - if it was just that the camera caught it so visible or was it also having some impact on driver?

The interiör is meant to be a relaxing place, and the big display paradigm lives and dies by the software. Tesla pulled it off but they are a SW company first. Volvo brought a lot of the SW development in house and started a joint company with google to build this SW, let’s see a longer tem review and what bugs pop up and how quickly they fix them.😅

[@PaulMeier-cu3ds]

Thank you for really doing the detail, which I did not get on other reviews. At €100k for this sort of car I would want to tow (tick) but would also want some reasonable off road capability - say enough get me and a horse box out of a muddy English field (unsure). Normally I would look to Range Rover for that sort of thing, but so far as I know they do not do the full electric. Apart from that Volvo have got so much of this right, but I could never live with the everything on the iPad on the dashboard. The decision to base the software on Google is clearly a good one which I wish more manufacturers had done.

The price is hard to get past for what you get. If one must have a 7 seater, its an option, but so are offerings from KIA and so on, and you could argue are cheaper, better etc. If you only require 5 seats, BMW iX is in another league for the same money. Admirable effort from Volvo all the same, though they need to up the ante and bring the price down in order to seriously compete with the Germans.

[@axk7189]

When discussing the LIDAR sensor, I have the feeling that the reasoning from Thomas does not reflect why Tesla has chosen to only use vision. And, it is not the personal opinion of Elon alone but backed by investigations of the FSD team. Andrej Karpathy, the long time leader of the FSD team (at the time this decision was made) has clearly stated in several interviews that the decision to add sensors is driven by the fact how much extra real input you can get while sometimes extremely adding to the complexity of merging different sources of information. Anyone who has tried to reconcile a radar screen on a yacht with the view through the front window knows what this means. More sensors does not automatically mean better results, it usualy means more confusion.

[@sternskov2629]

The reason Tesla will only use cameras instead of sensors and radar was to cut costs. And it was a stupid thing to do since the Tesla cars that only have cameras have major safety flaws.

[@ZagCsik]

FSD is a perpetual myth. No Lidar On Tesla because of costs.

[@karlInSanDiego]

Really confused about that EU weight explanation. What's the point of having a lower weight single motor version with one less module, if the dual motor version is going to be over weight? Is it like here's my brother. He made weight. You have to let me in too, because he's my brother and I promised Mom I'd look after him?

[@autogefuehl]

I agree. I also heard this explanation the very first time, but now that you look at all the other models, every single competitor has exactly the same strategy, and the entry version just is barely under this weight limit, so it is kind of obvious when I look at it again, but no one really talked about it.

IS THIS A JOKE- During the test drive //from the test drive with Teknikens Värld// the conversations we had with several experts and spokespersons, it sounded like those sensors get to rest much longer than that.

The features to come later in EX90 • Apple CarPlay - (end of 2024). • Lidar first safety scenario - (from mid-2025). • Cross traffic alert front automatic breaking - (from mid-2025). • Straight crossing path - (from mid-2025). • Curve speed assist - (from mid-2025). • Connected safety - (from mid-2025). • Bright theme in center and driver display - (from mid-2025). • Battery usage (automatic power saving mode) - (from mid-2025). • Smart Charging - (from mid-2025). • Bi-directional charging (Vehicle-to-home, vehicle-to-grid) - (from mid-2025).

LIDAR no longer costs 1000s of dollars. Unlike lithium batteries, LIDAR gets cheaper when you build a lot more of them and competitors drive the price down. But semi=autonomous driving is a horrible idea, because it encourages distracted driving and reduced driver situational awareness, while not actually being level 5. It's more dangerous than manual, human driving.

[@ps-dn7ce]

Lidar and more sensors aren't necessarily safer. Tesla has the best active safety of all cars tested by NCAP and others. Most times it's better to judge by data and not listen to marketing. Ps. Love the channel😊

Thanks 🙏

[@autogefuehl]

Indeed the camera system performance is very good for pedestrian safety and avoiding crashes with other vehicles in these tests. However in adverse situations like rain, fog etc. ultrasonic sensors and LIDAR by nature perform better to show an exact picture of the surroundings. Also the Tesla autopilot creates a lot of false-positives while driving as for my experience with the ACC (sudden braking although there is nothing)

[@Andy-zs3dm]

@@autogefuehl Tesla's cameras are actually good in fog and darkness. Better than humans.They don't see the colour green and are also much better at detecting nuances so have an advantage over us. Yes major downsides to the old autopilot software we have here in Europe is phantom braking. But Teslas manage to stop for all objects in ncap tests when all other modern cars like Volvos, Mercedes etc runs over children, cyclists and into other cars. Major reason for only relying on cameras is to avoid sensor fusion which is an insanely hard problem to solve. Tesla is far ahead of all other car makers on active safety and Tesla have several of the worlds most powerful AI clusters at their disposal but despite that they're hesitant to develop sensor fusion. Tesla might try to incorporate a hd radar in the future but nothing beyond that. And if Tesla can't get it to work with 1000x training compute compared other car makers than there's no hope for others to succeed with sensor fusion. This is evident in the active safety tests. What type of sensors the car has is 0,001% of the problem. Creating software to realiably use those sensors is 99,999% of the solution.

Interesting aspect with sensor fusion!

[@mrblackbeard18]

That tiny screen attached the steering wheel bracket utterly disgraceful

[@wulff-production5644]

Even if the XPeng G9 only has five seats, is the EX90 so much better to justify the price difference?

[@autogefuehl]

For me the G9 misses animal free seeting like G6 offers. Software is rapidly improving with Xpeng so its more about repair times etc which could cause a problem. In general Xpeng are very competitive already

[@BSquare1989]

I wishes they finished the safety features first and then moved to the pointless headlights rather than the other way around

[@ALIOCAL70]

The center screen a little bit waving

[@DmytroKhomychOfficial]

It's subjective but it looks even more like grandpa-car now xD

[@eal_ppl]

It was beatiful when they showed concept. Only year passed - it's already looking outdated. World is changing fast

[@t6pix]

and its 5k for each headlight unit

[@newbeginnings8566]

Volvo announced they have abandoned 100% EV production... Like many other manufacturers they can see the vast customers are not wanting EVs or can't afford them...

[@biachboy]

I hate the cheap glassroof. Put a proper sunroof there. Damn....

[@umutcakmak3221]

Volvo immediatelly become a very "unsafe" brand in my eyes

[@hmi1750]

Really a shame. I was looking forward to a large interior space for passenger comfort and luggage. For such a vast and heavy vehicle, this is really not packaged alll that well.
