A manual speed limiter is essential. Cruise is a liability in traffic.

Many many Volvos do not have the system on cruise that maintains a distance to traffic in front - mine doesn't and neither have any of the 4 courtesy cars I've been in this year (XC40, XC60, S60), none of which were the lowly spec of my own car.

The speed limiter with road sign recognition is as good as useless - on my daily 20 mile each way commute it has one section of the A1 as a 30mph limit and another as a 60mph limit, when both are 70mph. It also has a busy but fast single carriageway 60 limit as a 70 and a 20 as a 30. This is just on one journey. It corrects itself if it sees a sign but not always. And then the car over reads significantly anyway, as does almost everything on the road.
