Today I’m examining the world of software-defined vehicles, focusing on the recently launched Volvo EX90. This flagship electric SUV from the Swedish automaker promises to revolutionise how they go about making vehicles in the future, but its launch has raised some eyebrows in the industry.

In this episode, I explore the EX90's impressive features, from its powerful electric powertrain to its cutting-edge safety systems. I also discuss how Volvo's legacy of innovation in automotive safety has shaped this new offering. But we'll also tackle the elephant in the room: the missing features at launch.

- Is Volvo risking its hard-earned reputation for safety and reliability by launching a vehicle with key features missing?

- How does the EX90 stack up against competitors like the Kia EV9, Rivian R1S, and Tesla Model Y?

- What are the promises and perils of software-defined vehicles?

- Do startup EV makers get more leeway when launching unfinished products, and promising future updates to fix any issues?
