Car giant Volvo is all set to introduce the first ever crash-proof car. Sounds really interesting! Scheduled to make its debut in the Detroit Motors Show in January 2010, this car will be first of its kind in the global car market.
The car is supposed to be built with a radar and a sophisticated cruise control system that would control the distance between the corresponding car and other vehicles. The intelligent car will alert the driver by monitoring drowsiness or distraction. It will avoid imminent collision by auto-braking in situations the driver fails to react in the case of an accident. The system is designed to automatically monitor the car’s speed and detect any oncoming obstacle ahead on the way. This is something incredible to believe but the pace at which technologies are advancing, something like this can be possible.
The best part of this new technology is that it would drastically reduce the rate of road fatalities that is about 100,000 per annum in India. And even more across the Indian boundaries.
The technology would be first seen in the Volvo S60. With this, car owners can have a relaxed and pleasurable drive with a strong belief that no one in the Volvo car can be inured or killed.
But are there any confirmations of this car to come to India? or is the car only for international market. I think Indian needs such kind of accident proof cars more than any other country.
