I don't think you're disagreeing with me here. Those are things Volvo would be responsible for addressing, and would likely be required to. Your scenarios are much more likely than the ACs.
Yeah, I did it when I was their age, and realized just a few years later how dumb it was. When my kid got to that age, ~16-17, we talked more than once about responsible drinking. You're not going to stop them, but you can influence them to do so safely.
In the US, hospitals will advise against this. I did the same, rushing my wife to the ER (we're about 5 miles/ten minute drive away) with a pulmonary embolism, only to be told that I should have waited for the ambulance. When you take an ambulance, they get wheeled directly into the back door of the ER. When you walk in, you have to deal with the reception folks who are trying to triage everyone in the room. Obviously, if you make enough noise, things can be expedited...got my wife right in. It's really a judgement call...how long before you expect to have one arrive. I'm fortunate here in northern VA...they don't take long at all. Two years ago, I had a nasty fall (nearly ripped the nose off of my face hitting the rough edge of a flagstone step...bad enough that two trauma room nurses turned away when they saw it), and was actually on the operating table in under an hour.
I don't like the idea of Volvo doing this any more than you do. But, you've clearly been watching too much TV/movies because your strawman situations are not ever going to happen to 99.99% of the population.
Pretty much this. I spent six years driving the autobahns, and even the cheap econobox cars handled well and stress free at 160 kph+ That's just under 100 mph for us 'Mericans.
From the CDC: E-cigarettes have the potential to benefit adult smokers who are not pregnant if used as a complete substitute for regular cigarettes and other smoked tobacco products. E-cigarettes are not safe for youth, young adults, pregnant women, or adults who do not currently use tobacco products. While e-cigarettes have the potential to benefit some people and harm others, scientists still have a lot to learn about whether e-cigarettes are effective for quitting smoking. If you’ve never smoked or used other tobacco products or e-cigarettes, don’t start. Additional research can help understand long-term health effects.

That's great, and I hope it works out for you, but doesn't make them massively safer.

First they announce they want to nanny the car to 112 MPH.
Obligatory racist comment:
What did you expect from a Chinese company when you can blindfold their drivers with dental floss?
Maybe that's why my Asian wife is my Ex...told her that when I was teaching her to drive. And no, I'll never buy a Volvo with this kind of BS.

Deprive adults of a massively safer way to consume nicotine.
Hardly "massively safer"...

Nice wataboutism. Yes, they shouldn't make any other laws and drop everything until they've addressed those issues.
This is nothing more than typical California hippy culture. They all feel is as they unblock the energy in their chakras.

You need to get out more often. I can get a new one at about ten different stores in my neighborhood. And when is the "x" going to break?
