Volvo announced the first detection system for cyclists. This feature takes advantage of new technology City Safety, and further includes an automatic braking to avoid any collision with a rider.
"It is able to detect cyclists and apply the brakes if sensing the event of an accident caused by the driver lack of action," explains Doug Speck, Volvo's vice president.
If a cyclist is identified on a collision course, the system gives a warning for the driver and if it does not react, the car brakes automatically to avoid a possible hit and run.
Volvo wants to introduce this system on all models equipped with City Safety, from May.
