Paul_ Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 What does everyone think of it then? For those that don't know which I mean have a look here and check the video too; http://www.techeblog.com/index.php/tech-gadget/volvos-new-collision-warning-system I always though Volvo's were gastly looking cars but now I just lust for the new 'S' series (40,80,60) The newest model has an unbelievaby cool, smart and very intelligent system on it too. Im guessing not everyone will be for the idea of the "car taking control" though. What's everyone else thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deek Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Have a look at what the traffic police drive. They will only choose the best car for general purpose driving and pursuits. I think most of their cars are Volvo S60's. I am told the handling is superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

christhejambo Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 cool technolgy in that video. I think it was mercedes that developed something similar for their radar guided cruise control- in the press demo, the guy forgot to turn it on, or it was faulty and the driver ended up crashing! Any advancements that look to prevent a potentially fatal accident can be no bad thing though. As for the Volvo question, never had one, but my uncle swears by them, and as the poster above points out- the traffic police usually have their finger on the pulse concerning waht is a decent motor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt in a few years, this technology will be as common place as ABS and the car navigating a route will be the next best thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wicker Man Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Don't Volvos come equipped with scatter cushions on the passenger shelf and wee yappy dog ? - very rarely seen one driven faster than 27.89 mph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
