Consumer Description

THE 2020 CHEVROLET BOLT EV PREMIER HAS EXCELLENT CRUISE CONTROL, HOLDING SPEED TO WITHIN 1 MPH OF SET SPEED THROUGH AUTOMATIC ACCELERATION GOING UPHILL AND AUTOMATIC REGENERATIVE BRAKING GOING DOWN HILL. THE CAR HAS COLLISION DETECTION AND CAN REPORT TIME TO IMPACT TO THE TENTH OF A SECOND. WHAT IT CAN'T DO IS APPLY REGENERATIVE BRAKING WHEN A DETECTED CRASH MAY BE IMMINENT. IT JUST FLASHES A WARNING LIGHT AND SOUNDS AN ALARM BEEP, BUT DOESN'T TRY TO PREVENT A CRASH, ALLOWING A DRIVER WITH SLOWED REFLEXES TO PLOW INTO THE VEHICLE AHEAD.
