My car did something amazing today. This is the first day that I have driven my car in the rain. Yes, I know that I have had the car for about 18 months, but there is this thing called COVID19 that has kept me home an awful lot.
Now back to my car. As I left the house it started to rain. Me being in a funk for most of the time I have owned the car, I have not read the owner’s manual. The 1st car that I have not read it from cover to cover. So as I was trying to remember what the salesman said about the wipers and how to turn them on, they just started up on their own. They stopped too. Then started again,. Kept up with the rain by going faster and stopped again. I thought that this was so cool. I could keep my eyes on the road.
Tucson drivers freak out in rain. They forget how to drive and that they must slow down. I am not talking about the usual snowbird stuff like stopping dead in the middle of the road in the right or center lane blinking for a left turn expecting everyone to stop for them. When it would be safer to move over to the left lane and make a u turn further down the road. Then making a right turn on the right street. Tucson drivers just don’t get much rain to practice with.
I really want to thank the Volvo engineers ho came up with this idea and then implemented it. It really is a very cool feature. Thank you.
