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.
