Now the question is, can Volvo live up to this claim in 4 years or this an attention grab that they have no intention of following through on?

 

Hi, I just got back from the year 2021: they didn't pull it off.

 

I have no interest in purchasing such a car. I want my car to do what I tell it to do, not what it thinks I meant to do.
