Volvo XC60: City Safety Demonstration
Loading...
Uploaded by VolvoXC60 on Oct 20, 2008
The New Volvo XC60 is the car that stops itself. With City Safety, Volvo is the first car company to offer this technology as a standard feature on one of its models.
Experience the XC60 on the "From Sweden with Löv" tour: http://www.volvocars.com/us/campaigns/Misc/Pages/XC60LaunchUS.aspx?deeplink=E...

24 people want to have a traffic accident...

@banstaman ya! i lived in germany and it was fine. when i moved 2 new york it should work at higher speeds
-
my father once said, if i had a car that can brake it self when i'm too close to another car, i will abbandone it in the middle of the road with a pick in the dashboard, ok it could be useful as seen in the spot, the windshield is covered by water and they can't see the guy crossing the street, but if every car turns like that, in no time anybody could drive, and if that sistem will fail, as seen on the demo with the truck, there will be a bit of a mess...

@paris2207 1. what is more dangerous than hitting the car in front of you
and 2nd: if you hit the front car then the back would also hit you.

Statistics show that most collisions occur at low speeds, my answer.... increase all speed limits to more than 150mph LOL
-
@DJMC5ive Might be... :-P
But modern car technology also helps saving good and innocent drivers from idiots.

Wouldn't it be better to not act like an idiot while in traffic? Who in their right mind reaches into the back seat while driving? Who shoves a city map in front of their driver? And what total _dufus_ would see a ball coming from the rear-left, and instead of paying attention to how the car in front reacts, TURNS THEIR HEAD to where the ball comes from? All of these people would fail a driver's test, at least in my country. The first thing you learn is "pay attention"...

This is pretty nice but how does the city safety works when its raining or snowing? And do you think that city safety could do the job if it is slippery, could it break on time?
-
The people complaining about this technology are the same types who were against seat belts, air bags, and ABS systems. They're either Luddites or they're just not very smart. The rest of us just have to lead them in the right direction.

@msms300876 And it may also prevent anyone - young or old - from injuring someone else, and I think that's a good thing.

Statistically, in the US most car incidents are around 30 or 40 MPH. It would be VERY helpful for City Safety to operate at those speeds.
