Volvo Car Camera Safety Technology Remind

<p> <br>
  It doesn’t matter what other <a href="http://movka.com" target="_blank">car camera manufacturer</a> say about automobile safety. The fact is, Volvo owns it, lock, stock and barrel – always have, always will. </p>
<p>It’s a bold edict and one that puts huge responsibility on the Swedish car company (although the brand is now owned by the Zhejiang Geely Holding Group) to deliver outstanding safety credentials across its range of passenger vehicles for many years to come.</p>
<p>Volvo-speak for its latest and greatest safety tech includes Pedestrian Detection with Full Auto Brake and City Safety, and it’s at the cutting edge of vehicular safety despite the brand’s lower price points than its German competitors.</p>
<p>Twenty years ago the idea of a car capable of coming to a complete stop automatically to avoid rear-ending the car in front, or hitting a school kid who has walked out on to the road without looking, would have been considered science fiction; and yet City Safety, which can completely eliminate low-speed crashes, is now standard kit across Volvo’s ‘60’ range of cars and SUVs.</p>
<p>The ultra-advanced Pedestrian Detection and Adaptive Cruise Control with Queue Assist are optional extras (although Volvo could quantum leap its higher-priced competitors if it worked out a way to include these systems in the standard features inventory), which could be considered inexpensive if you weigh up their potential for crash minimisation.</p>
<p>CarAdvice was recently given the opportunity to test drive these safety systems in a Volvo S60. The results were mighty impressive, although somewhat unnerving, given you are eschewing your natural tendency to self preservation for what amounts to the collective forces of radar, a <a href="http://movka.com" target="_blank">china car camera recorder</a> and a computer.</p>
<p>The car ahead came to a complete stop and without any driver input from me, the car automatically braked to a complete stop thus avoiding a rear end crash.</p>
<p>When the car ahead moved off again all I had to do to move off again and accelerate up to the predetermined speed and distance was to either press the resume button on the steering wheel or use the accelerator pedal.</p>
<p>It’s only after you drive with these high tech safety systems engaged that you begin to understand the various Volvo-speak for them, as prior to the road test, it all seems totally confusing.</p>
<p>You’ve got to applaud Volvo for always pushing the safety envelope and the associated costs for doing so. After all, safety features have never been an easy thing to market over high-end 20-speaker sound systems and yet Volvo has stayed the course.</p>
<p>The introduction of City Safety across Volvo’s ’60′ series line-up is a massive step in the right direction and may already have saved lives.</p>
<p>Our only request is for Volvo to include Pedestrian Detection with Full Auto Brake on its entire model range, as that strategy will save even more lives and help maintain the brand’s outstanding contribution to automobile safety over the past 68 years.</p>
