What we know:
A rear-end collision is not the best
way to meet people.
With a goal to automatically eliminate the most common (and embarrassing) type
of accident – the low-speed (below 31 mph) rear-end collision – Volvo created
City Safety. This remarkable collision avoidance and mitigation technology
– standard with the Volvo S60 – uses a closing-velocity laser sensor that tracks
the car immediately ahead of you and constantly calculates how much braking
force is needed to come to a full-stop before meeting them unintentionally.
If the system senses an imminent exchange of personal information and insurance
forms, it will automatically brake. Clearly, this technology can save you from more
than embarrassment.
