The system will be introduced as a world-first standard feature in the new Volvo SC60 which arrives here in October.
At speeds of under 30km/h, City Safety uses laser sensor technology to detect vehicles up to 10 metres in front of the car’s front bumper and reacts to vehicles in front that are either at a standstill or are moving slowly in the same direction as the car itself.
If the gap between the cars contrinues to close, and the driver remains inactive, the car applies the brakes automatically.
