As much as DSTC has been lauded over the months I would personally like to have the satisfaction of knowing how many times it has been employed. This feedback would provide me with some notion of how extensive or not the DSTC was being used to help with correcting odd/unsafe driving conditions. It would also allow me to take some solice in having spent some hard earned cash for its technology.
Volvo appears to be slowly installing DSTC as default in most of its model lineup. For example, it's now standard on the S80 T6 and I believe on the XC70 with a certain Package.
The only DSTC usage feedback I'm aware of is that an orange triangle flickers some in the right intrument display window when it has become active.
I would like to see Volvo provide this info by recording the number of times DSTC was used and to record it along with my VIN in their VADIS database. This 'overall' (ie all VINs) info could then be used to provide dealerships with a notion of how extensive this system is being used for their local areas and be in a position (ie having facts and data) to advise customers on it use for their geographical areas. I would expect Volvo might also be interested in seeing to what extent their safety technology is being used to help their customers with difficult driving conditions -- would make for a credible Ad http://xc70.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif
