The new car will be shown in August, but for now a few words about safety and parking systems.
As always, Volvo has innovations that have not been seen anywhere before. For example, a system to prevent running off the road. Such accidents are among the most common in the world. Safe Positioning is the name of the innovation that detects the risk of leaving the road and sends a signal to the mechanisms of seat belt pretensioners. But this system is optional, while the driver fatigue monitoring system is already installed as standard.
There are also technological innovations. For example, safe cornering - at an intersection, the car will automatically brake before an oncoming vehicle. This is necessary so that you do not drive into the oncoming lane.
The Swedes also installed sensors that monitor the situation behind. If a car behind you is rapidly approaching and not slowing down, your car will activate flashing brake lights and tighten the seat belts.
In the parking assistance system, nothing new could be seen. The car can be parked without steering, but the speed and gear selection remain with you. The computer analyzes the surrounding environment using 12 sensors.
