Volvo's New S90 To Have Pilot Assist As Standard Equipment

The S90 is set to arrive in showrooms this year and will be fitted in standard trim with the second generation of the Pilot Assist system. The semi-autonomous features of the Pilot Assist technology allow the car to drive itself on a highway at speeds of up to 80 MPH.

Thanks to this feature, the Volvo S90 will be the first car sold in the United States of America with semi-autonomous driving technology as standard, a significant breakthrough on the road to fully-autonomous vehicles. Tesla also offers a semi-autonomous driving feature on the Model S, but it isn’t standard equipment.

The S90 could come with a free Kardashian and it will be sold at steep, frightening discounts. No one wants an overpriced, wannabe premium Volvo sedan.

Geely/Volvo are aiming wrong.
