Volvo goes for the crash-proof car

The company will introduce a concept car based on the S60 this month at the Detroit Auto Show, looking ahead a few years to the goal that by 2020 "no one should be killed or injured in a Volvo car." The concept car will have forward-looking radar as a proximity sensor, and the ability to brake if a collision is imminent. When the car senses a collision, a light flashes on the windscreen display along with an audible warning. If the driver doesn't act, the car will brake automatically.

Great until a pidgeon flies across the front of your car and it does an emergency stop in lane 3 of the m25 - does it also check to see if nothing is behind you before braking :rofl:
