Ideas that change the world are often the most
controversial.
After we
introduced the 3-point safety belt, we faced a world of criticism. Since then,
it has saved more than a million lives. Now it's time for the next step. For
everyone's safety.
A million
more. With new and existing safety features, we are
determined to save a million more lives.
Speed cap
To send a strong signal about the dangers of speeding, we reduced the
top speed of all our new cars to 112 mph in 2020. We are also looking at how
smart speed control and geofencing technology could automatically limit speeds
near schools and hospitals in the future.
Highway pilot
With support from LiDAR sensors, the next generation of Volvo cars will
be hardware-ready for autonomous drive. And over time, we will push out
over-the-air software updates to provide fully autonomous highway driving.
Driver monitoring cameras
To help address intoxication and distraction in traffic, we are working
on new in-car solutions. Driver monitoring cameras, together with other
sensors, will allow the car to intervene when a clearly intoxicated or
distracted driver risks serious injury or death.
Care Key
We've recently introduced the Care Key, aimed at
addressing speeding. With the Care Key, Volvo car owners can put a speed cap on
the car when lending it to a younger family member or less experienced driver
as a way of ensuring a safer ride.
Features depicted may not be standard or available for all styles,
engine options, model years and regions.
