A careless Mahindra XUV700 owner abuses ADAS yet again. There have been tons of cases of such instances in recent times. The XUV700 stands as the top-tier SUV in Mahindra’s lineup. Consequently, it’s loaded with the latest technology, connectivity, safety, and convenience features to provide utmost comfort to its passengers. The Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) is a notable example of this. This is why it has achieved tremendous success in our market since its introduction. In fact, there are still lengthy waiting periods for certain variants in certain cities. However, some owners are frequently observed not utilizing the ADAS features as intended. Here’s a case highlighting this issue.

Mahindra XUV700 Owner Abuses ADAS
This post comes from autojournal_india on Instagram. It captures a rather disappointing and shocking instance. There is no one in the driver’s seat. It is on a highway. Then the camera turns to the supposed driver. He is lying in the third row of vehicle. Moreover, he is talking on the phone. Surprisingly, there is no one even in the passenger seat. That is simply outrageous. To be so far away from the steering wheel and brakes is an open invitation to trouble. For any reason, if someone or something comes in front of the SUV, a collision will be imminent.

The post of the caption reads that the owner is using the adaptive cruise control feature to allow the electronics to take control. That is highly dangerous. To rely solely on the electronics of the car equates to endangering the life of not just the driver but also other people around. Strict action must be taken against such miscreants who jeopardize their safety and the safety of others just to create viral content.
