Volvo Device Automatically Slams The Brakes When It Spots Pedestrians, Cyclists In Car’s Path

This is gonna add thousands of $ to the cost of a car and would not be
necessary except people are psychos who insist on driving while
texting or playing with the CD player or radio.

SANTA MONICA (CBSLA.com) —
The high-definition cameras, which are located in the rear-view mirror
and the car’s radar, first sends the driver warning lights and sounds
when a person or bicyclist comes too close to the vehicle.

If the driver fails to react, that’s when the car will then come to a
stop.

Drivers believe the new technology could make a difference in people’s
lives in today’s world of distracted motorists.

According to Volvo, the radar device will be available in May and
become standard in all of its 2014 models.
