Hello everyone, back by popular demand
(...) the Automotive Technology category. This time I speak last found safety. And in terms of safety, Volvo has always done the lion's share!
past few months has introduced a new system called City Safety. " It is a system capable of preventing impacts at low speed (below 30 km / h) typical urban driving when you are in the queue, for example.
The system itself is quite simple: a laser transmitter receiver positioned in the rear view mirror through the windshield and the reflection of the laser at reflective objects is able to calculate the distance of the object in question (car, crash barriers, obstacles generic). It is not yet capable of operating with "Objects" details such as pedestrians and animals.
The operating range is 6-8 meters, if an object is in the path and the driver does not realize it, that shows no signs of braking, the system will automatically stop the car so as to prevent the impact .
work? Judge for yourself ...
Volvo is justified by saying that there was a problem with battery)
However I give you a personal opinion. For me the system is very good and probably also works well. But it is also, in a sense, dangerous. Why? Simple, when someone has that thing on the car could be justified in some way to distract from driving ("So there is the automatic brake ...") while behind the wheel when his eyes should always be kept on the road.
the conclusions to you!
