City Safety Demonstration

Volvo's has worked out how to minimise the chance on front end car crashes and will conduct hourly demonstrations of the new technology, call City Safety.

City safety is a world-first and is currently only available in Australia on Volvo’s new mid-sized luxury SUV, the XC60.

Volvo says its City Safety collision avoidance technology prevents front-end collisions when the vehicle is being driven at speeds of up to 30km/h where the speed differential between the two vehicles is no more than 15km/h.

City Safety constantly monitors the distance of vehicles up to six metres in front of the XC60 via a laser positioned in its windscreen.

If City Safety determines that the XC60 is approaching a vehicle too quickly to avoid a collision, it will automatically brake the vehicle. Depending on speed, the vehicle will either avoid a collision completely or the system will mitigate the collision to ensure the severity of the accident is reduced.
