AWD button in bar menu and on the steering wheel programmable button - also, an icon on the screen when it is displayed
An 'ECO' mode to increase range
Better range estimation in Google Maps (I always end up with minus 10-15% than the initial estimation)
Turn off the headlights when charging and I'm not leaving the car
Ability to turn the Lane assist, speed and drive monitor in the welcome screen without the need to put the car in 'D'. Also, for at least 30 minutes, keep those settings. If you just open the door or go ti the grocery store, when coming back, you need to disable those stupid things again.
Better Car Play design

Android digital key

Dip mirrors on reverse

Ability to have proximity unlock, but not lock (so I can leave the car open when on my drive, so my passengers don't have to wait for me to go to the car to let them in)

Better volume control so that Bluetooth audio and radio are similar volume

Most important for me -

Be able to leave the wipers in off position. I am sick of the car "dry wiping" when I unlock it, or worse, spraying me with water as I'm getting in the car

Thanks Volvo

The only things I feel I am missing from the perfect experience are:
- a shortcut to fold the mirrors in when I’m in reverse
- a shortcut to enable performance mode (either on the contextual bar or the steering wheel hotkey)
- ability to use the cameras as a dashcam
- ability to view the 360° camera in full screen like on the EX90
A perfect list!
Not a perfect list at all!

Apple users have got all their main wishes granted. Nothing had been done for Android users.

First and foremost it has to be Digital Key for Android, then Android Auto. Then at least all owners (who paid the same for their cars) are being treated fairly. Once that is done, that would be time to look at other things:

No to cameras as dash cans - see Kildare's wise advice ( I have had dash cams quickly destroy memory cards in the past.)

Dipping mirrors in reverse

Extra, permament buttons added to the home screen for:
Rear fog lights
Toggle between ACC and Speed Limiter
Toggle between 2 and 4 WD (for some)

And I really don't want anything automatic in the manual speed limiter. I like it that I can set it and the car allows me to drive at that speed without reducing it for every dodgy sign or erroneous Google Map data.

Voice activated or other easy way to switch audio from rear or all audio focus to driver speaker focus. I change this every time someone is in car as a passenger.

1. Wing mirrors that tilt down in reverse (almost every modern car does that).
2. More positive one-pedal driving. The braking effect on the EX30 is so puny as to be useless.
3. Higher efficiency. My car is averaging around 24 kW/100km which is ridiculous. 5yo Tesla M3 averages about 15 kW/100km or better. I don't know how this car can be so inefficient. I even wonder if it's faulty.
4. Better trip energy consumption display options.

I miss having a quick way to adjust the following distance when using adaptive cruise control. Different situations call for different gaps—for example, I prefer the maximum distance in tunnels, but in city traffic, I stay closer to the car ahead. Right now, changing this requires going into the settings, which is quite inconvenient. It would be great if this could be adjusted more easily, perhaps by slightly pushing up or down the drive mode selector by one step.

Also, it would be nice to bring back the trunk release button directly on the screen, as it was in earlier versions. It was a small but very useful feature.

An option to precondition the battery for charging below 20% would be fantastic.
