WITH THE INTRODUCTION OF SELF DRIVING FEATURES NEW PASSERNGER SAFTEY REGULATIONS ARE NEEDED. MY CAR , AN ADDED FEATURE, IS DISTRONIC SAFETY SYSTEM, SELF DRIVE MODE. WHEN THE CAR IS AT ACOMPLETE STOP IT WILL SENSE IF SOME IS ABOUT TO REAR END YOU. THE CAR COMPLETELY LOCKS DOWN. WITH IMPACT THE PASSENGERS IN THE VECHILE TAKE A FULL BODY IMPACT. THE CURRENT SEATBELTS DO PROTECT THE LEFT SIDE OF THE BODY BUT THE RIGHT SIDE GETS SEVER DAMAGE. HARNESS SEAT BELTS SUCH AS RACE CAR DRIVERS US OR CHILDREN CAR SEAT WOULD MINIMIZE RIGHT BODY INJURES. THIS FEATURE EQUATES THE IMPACT TO HITTING A BRICK WALL. MY ACCIDENT WAS ON A BUSY HIGHWAY.

WHEN GETTING MY VIRGINIA STATE INSPECTION THIS MARCH (2019) AT THE DEALER WHERE THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW, I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD NEED FOUR (4) NEW TIRES SOON !! THE TIRES ARE PIRELLI SCORPION RUN FLATS AND THE VEHICLE HAD ONLY 13,500 MILES AND THESE TIRES ARE NOT CHEAP(!). I THINK WITH TODAYS TECHNOGLY TIRES SHOULD LAST BEYOND 14,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE AND TIRES HAS BEEN ALIGNED,BALANCED AND ROTATED THREE (3) TIMERS SINCE PURCHASED, BECAUCE I WANTED TO GET THE MOST MILAGE OUT OF THEM BECAUSE OF THE PRICE OF THE TIRES. I'M NOT A NASCAR DRIVER (IN MY 70'S) AND I TAKE CARE OF MY VEHICLES BUT I THINK IT BEARS LOOKING INTO THESE TIRES ( TOO SOFT COMPOUND,ETC..)-- I HAVE A FILE ON ALL MAINT.PULLED ON THIS VEHICLE WITH THE LAST RESULTS SHOWING FAILURE ON THE TIRES.
