Volvo Self-Parking Demonstration Goes Horribly Wrong: Video

Volvo has a bit of a bad track record with its automatic assistance systems and demonstrations for the press and public.

The latest demonstration, involving an XC60 and its self-parking assist feature, ended up with two men getting run over.

Fortunately the men are alright, according to Remolacha, which posted the video of the incident from the Dominican Republic.

According to Remolacha, the demonstrators forgot to turn on the “City Safe” mode.

It’s certainly not safe, at any rate.

Those who pay attention to such blunders will recall Volvo’s previous “oops” when attempting to demonstrate the automatic braking system to the press on the S60 back in 2010.
