Three Unique Safety Features from Volvo
December 07 2022,
Safety has always been a top priority for Volvo. From the three-point seatbelt to impact-absorbing crumple zones, Volvo has long been an innovator in automotive safety. Now, Volvo is taking it a step further with its new lineup of vehicles, with three groundbreaking safety features that are sure to stand out among the competition: animal detection, cyclist detection and collision avoidance assistance. Let’s take a closer look at each of these unique features.
Animal Detection
Volvo's animal detection system uses radar and cameras to detect animals in the roadway ahead, sending an alert to the driver if one is detected. If no action is taken by the driver, the car will automatically apply the brakes. This feature works not only at night but also during daylight hours when visibility is decreased due to fog or rain. The system even detects animals on winding roads, allowing drivers to react swiftly and safely in any situation.
Cyclist Detection
The cyclist detection system works much like the animal detection system, using radar and camera technology to detect cyclists in close proximity to the vehicle. This feature can detect cyclists day or night, even if they are hidden behind other cars or buildings. If no action is taken by the driver after an alert is issued, the car will automatically brake as soon as it senses a potential collision with a cyclist.
Collision Avoidance Assistance
The collision avoidance assistance feature helps prevent head-on collisions while driving on two-way highways or roads with multiple lanes of traffic. If a vehicle suddenly appears in your path while going around a curve or over a hill, this feature will warn you and help you avoid a collision by steering you away from any oncoming traffic into another lane—even if that lane may be occupied by another vehicle at that moment in time! This feature includes both audible warnings as well as visual warnings on your dashboard display so that you can react quickly and safely in any situation.
These are just three of many safety features available on Volvo vehicles — features designed specifically for those who want peace of mind knowing their family is safe every time they get behind the wheel. Volvo has you covered if you're worried about avoiding collisions with animals, cyclists or other vehicles on busy highways!
