fantastic matrix LED headlights though
This.
Volvo's xenons were good; The LEDs however are another level. Coupled with the high beam assist shutting down areas of lighting when you come across another vehicle so you can run full beam at all times I feel like I'm driving on a floodlight football pitch at all times - no GPS align, but there is a setting for that.
Roll on winter when I can actually use them!

The radar cruise was on a brand new 2019 Passat that I rented. Didn't really work out how to change the distance, but I did work out how to turn it off.
It also had lane departure, and I swear the bloody thing tried to steer you back into your lane and fight you steering into the outside lane, it was horrible.
My Citroën hasn't got that, but if it did it would be in the form of buzzers in the driver's seat. It too would be turned off all the time because I live in the countryside and there's a lot of small empty roads where you're straddling the white line much of the time.
The Passat did have those fantastic matrix LED headlights though, which knew (via GPS) what country we were in and automatically changed to dipping on the right when we got to France.
The Citroën of course has automatic steering xenon lights so apparently never needs changing from left to right dipping
