EPIC FAIL Volvo demonstration

Volvo was showing how effective the "automatic braking system" is in collision avoidance!

But at least the automatic wipers came on to improve visibility from the steam coming out of the radiator.

No brake use = no brake lights = rear end collision. I guess that's better than a front end collision though, hahaha

Nice backup if you or the driver happens to be distracted
