I'm at a loss as to what it is about Volvo's progress (or lack thereof) that is non-obvious enough to warrant investigation into published experiments that don't exist.

Was your statement the thing is Volvo's experiments haven't been going as well as others based on any knowledge whatsoever? I'm just trying to understand what you are basing that on and how well-founded it is.

Did you read the same article as me? It's not like I made an outrageous claim.
