When you buy a car, you need to know that it is capable of getting you to work or school safely. You also need to know that it can be trusted on long road trips or that it can keep your teen drivers safe as they gain experience driving. Fortunately, Volvo is fully committed to ensuring its cars are among the safest on the market today.
You Won't Run Off the Road
The run-off road mitigation tool activates if the car crosses the outer boundary of a rural road, freeway or main highway. Instead of simply going off the road, the car will steer back into a proper lane or hit the brakes to ensure that you don't crash into a median or guardrail at full speed.
You Can't Exceed 112 Miles Per Hour
Another exciting feature on all Volvo cars is the presence of a speed cap. All Volvo cars built since 2020 prevent you from accelerating faster than 112 miles per hour, which is still much faster than America's highest posted speed limits. Limiting your speed means limiting the amount of energy that can be exerted during a collision. Ultimately, this may mean that you walk away from a wreck instead of killing yourself or your passengers.
Lidar Helps to Power Future Innovations
Another interesting feature is a lidar and AI system that provides a complete view of what's going on around the car. Today, it makes it easier to avoid collisions while changing lanes or going in reverse. However, in the future, it will help make accurate autonomous driving a reality as the car will know where it is and what is happening around it. It also means that when updates are available, they can be delivered over the air without buying a new vehicle.
