i have had this car for two years now,is the best car i have ever had so far, each day i love it more and i cant complaint about it. I just wich this car will have ventilated seats really that is all its missing.
If one drives like a normal person, it will never engage. It's designed to evaluate the driver state, Active or Passive. To do so, collects data from SWM(Steering Wheel Module)ABS, CVM(Closing Velocity Module) and other nodes. If the collision is eminent (<700ms) and the driver is deemed passive, only then, the vehicle will apply 50% of brake capacity and if @ <10 MPH and road conditions r good it will possibly stop before contact. Above that up to 19 Mph it will minimize the impact forces.
I just bought one of these for my wife over the weekend with personal companion option, navigation/Dynaudio stero upgrade and some comfort package that gives you the power liftgate, homelink, and some other stuff I cant recall. Let me tell you this is one sweet vehicle, blows away the Q5 and Benz GLK. City safe is cool but the T6 engine and AWD make the car. I am totally impressed, gobs of torque (300 lb ft) and the ride is very sporty. Well done Volvo. We dont miss the RX 350 at all.
hmm.. im not sure if this is the best idea.. what happens if you're being chased and want to run over whatevers in front of you.. its not too practical for that to happen but
im sure it does, im not sure about really small things but a deer, im sure, it seems to me it uses something like echolation waves bouncing back saying how far away it is and things, so a large object like a wall or deer it would prolly stop, what if someone was driving toward u, could u get off of the road with out it causing u to slam you brakes and prolly get killed?
It only works from 0-19mph anything over that it doesnt work. They calculated that more accidents occur from fender benders and low speed crashes while in the city.
I believe so but I also believe that there are some shops out there wetting for it so they can do something to increase the capacity of braking MPH! just my opinion
They way cars are going I think is terrible. They are making them to solve peoples bad driving, it doesn't fix it though. They'll start to depend on it and when it fails they wont know what to do. Just wait till government obdIII systems come out were you computer will be accessed wirelessly. Did I mention fly by wire? Things that could go wrong with this are almost limitless.
lol, then they will have to buy an autobreak car too, then the people will behind them, and so on, until the road will be from gray to black with rubber stains, and smoke in the air from burning rubber, lol, and nothing but screeches in the world, and red shiny lights, from space all you see is a bunh of flashing red lights, xDDDD
mine is on order, and I must wait till 3 April to pick it up as thats when it comes to the US. Cannot wait... Red maple Mettalic, black leather w Oak trim... last car was V50 and before that V40
This is my new baby xc60 i cnt wait to get it to buy it 09 reg coming soon in march 1st whoop and i love music in bkground and i love this music soo much :D

With autobreak I can almost guarantee that people will start driving more recklessly thinking that they will be safe.
Not to mention all the things that can go wrong with it.
Personally I think it's a bad idea.
