I've driven a 2015 Black Volvo S60 sedan T5 for 2 years straight, this car saved my butt twice (2 times) during my time on the road... This this is an awesome feature, I feel safe having it
Well that's also ok, but still there are many other drivers that drive at 40km/h (not sure how much in mph is that), on the other hand if the system works only at 10mph or less then it would be ok, but on the other hand, most of the people don't get distracted after they start breaking, they do before it, and at that time they usually drive faster than 10mph. However this system would be helpful for inexperienced drivers that are still unable to judge the car's breaking distance and brake late
Tech meets safety. That should come in handy in rush hour stop n' go traffic. Not that drivers should be less careful; it's just an added safety feature.
Amazing. Too bad all city driving is at 40kph in Canada and I'm guessing 25mph in US? But at least if your stuck in traffic so long that you fall asleep this could save you some scratched paint.
Im not sure, I believe Consumer Reports gave the new models average predicted reliability. European cars in general are just not known for there reliability which is a true shame :/
People drive like this all the time during stop and go traffic jam like in LA or when making a right turn when the car in front of you actually stop while you are looking at your left.
Not that keen on a system that even partially tries to compensate for driver inattention. Better driver education and responsibility is the key to road safety.
If I remember correctly, Volvo reliability was still higher than all other Euro and American brands, but still not as good as they were before the Ford takeover.
Nah no way, this only works up until 10 mph. Though I think the newer models go up until 30 mph. Closest thing you get at high speeds is the adaptive cruise control, I think. Set your max speed and it keeps a following distance you set to the car in front. I wonder if it would come to a complete stop though :)
*looks at response in shock* So now the cars only going to be stamped steel? lol How is the NEW quality- from Folvo to now? I mean longevity of the metal,types of materials used etc I know its too soon to tell but your opinion?
I don't know...I could see this causing more issues than it prevents... and if the driver was responsible there would be no need for this at all...you're supposed to be paying 100% attention 100% of the time when driving anywhere. So what is this supposed to prevent? The stupid ass on the phone from learning how to drive responsibly? What if the system fails and malfunctions..seems risky. I know I'm being very negative but there isn't a need for this. People need to drive themselves.
If you cant breake by yourself you should not have a license! Since there are many accidents in the citys this will save lifes. And from 20-50km/h it will slow down the car but not step on the breakes.
btw, the second camera angle shows it's front is audi :O, :D:D:D dunno, what we do know that it has very low fuel consumption, maybe it's a new hybrid :D :D :D ...
It works with pedestrians , Vehicles , walls , anything of that size. I don't know if it works with animals like dogs or cats! I hope it does , but it should be test (with fake animals, not real)!
I kind of want one of those red cars, just so I could plow into it with my truck... OR... Throw it into highway traffic, just to scare people XD (just kidding, that would be super messed up)
I own a 97 ford wagon. ABS removed Chevy 4.3 engine. 280,000 miles orignal! The x'mission is from a 87? Caddy that was front drive v8. NO Emissions shit. gets 27 city and 31 highway.

same
I'll take the red car, it looks more fun!
Yeah, when somebody rear-ends you, you go flying like "Whee!".
Why has this been watched so much? 10 mph? Come on, I want to see that at 80!
the all new volvo, perfect for old people :)
Okay okay. We got it after the first couple of demo's. Anyway... I want one of those flying red cars at the front! ;-)
+Itzdat Managgen
Everyone should have a red car like that, problem solved.
lol
No kidding!
I'd like to see a line of 10 of these following eachother closely doing it.
So it manages to stop itself automatically in front of balloon car..... but not lorry.
Amazing technology.
Sorry but are you being Serious/ just Joking about Amazing Technology ?
Well that's also ok, but still there are many other drivers that drive at 40km/h (not sure how much in mph is that), on the other hand if the system works only at 10mph or less then it would be ok, but on the other hand, most of the people don't get distracted after they start breaking, they do before it, and at that time they usually drive faster than 10mph.

2:28 best part
Tech meets safety. That should come in handy in rush hour stop n' go traffic. Not that drivers should be less careful; it's just an added safety feature.
0:45 Volllllllllllllllllllllvvvvvvvooooooo take cover!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My favourite camera angle is this particular one 0:39
Скорость просто зашкаливает
@ 2:30 Hey you old man don't depends on me everytime. .😅😅😅
City Safety disabled leads to a crash?? Who would have thought...some valuable data right there!
On the highway or other roads in a traffic jam, moving up at red lights, in parking lots, in drive-throughs...
Yes! Is the super safety full car airbag system. Involves all passagers and the car!
action movies are going to have a fit over this.
How does this system perform on snowy and icy roads?
yup, i'm weary of these later model cars with all their nanny devices, including "throttle by wire" accompanied by an automatic transmission...
And swiftly he put the hand brake , look at the expression of his driver 0:40 😂😂
That red car got five stars
@Seadgaranovic they only wanted to test how strong the wall has become since the invention of bricks ;)
Its a new technology to be included in the average consumer car. Driving nannies are no replacement for a skilled, attentive driver.
they were actually recently bought out by another company in 2010. Some chineese company, Ford no longer owns them
this is great, because around 50% of car accidents involve drunk drivers.
it only works with speeds below 30 mph which means it only works at non lethal speeds
.
it should work also at high speeds !!!
Tighten up your sway bar and end links they are loose and clunking under heavy braking
That would make a hilarious chase scene in a movie
I just need one of those red car models! They just bounce out of the way.
@wdb4me It's the new 2012 XC60
Yes.
Amazing. Too bad all city driving is at 40kph in Canada and I'm guessing 25mph in US? But at least if your stuck in traffic so long that you fall asleep this could save you some scratched paint.
yeah, cars that take control of themselves, just what we need
Not enough camera angles, you really need to work on that part...
I didn't see it happen from enough camera angles, got anymore?
So this means it will be extremely easy to kidnap the target from the car by simply stopping in front of them. Their own car wont let them escape.
learned their lesson and went for a ballon target..
Im not sure, I believe Consumer Reports gave the new models average predicted reliability. European cars in general are just not known for there reliability which is a true shame :/

Thanks for sharing this demonstration.

need more camera angles, i didn't catch it
Nah no way, this only works up until 10 mph. Though I think the newer models go up until 30 mph.
Closest thing you get at high speeds is the adaptive cruise control, I think. Set your max speed and it keeps a following distance you set to the car in front. I wonder if it would come to a complete stop though :)
Yes it does. Mine is a v60 2012, it stops
*looks at response in shock* So now the cars only going to be stamped steel? lol How is the NEW quality- from Folvo to now? I mean longevity of the metal,types of materials used etc I know its too soon to tell but your opinion?
oh, a car is standing in front of me, better look the other way...
Ok, now let's see that again. And again. And again. And again. And again. Now let's see that again.
They were beyond its time
the first thing I would do if I had that car would be to disable the system. nobody needs to be in control of the vehicle but the driver.
eso me hubiera ahorrado una luz, claro el golf '89 no traía estas bellezas
after sp many failed tests, including the 1st one with the lorry, volvo now only uses baloons to demonstrate the system
UNBELIEVABLE !! No seriously, i cannot believe it ! they closed a piece of highway just to do inflatable car crashtest.
Volvo can never make it to James Bond series with this attitude.
"City Safety"
what is that clunking noise when you autobrake
ABS pump
ABS
mat tsd beat me to it lol
Age of the test driver is appropriate for the technology
Ok, but what if you want to overtake the car in front and this system kicks in?
Althought, I must say this one is pretty nice too 1:26
1:57 you can see somethin leak under the car.
Finally i can look to the right without worrying about running into the inflatable car in front of me. :)
I don't know...I could see this causing more issues than it prevents... and if the driver was responsible there would be no need for this at all...you're supposed to be paying 100% attention 100% of the time when driving anywhere.

I know I'm being very negative but there isn't a need for this. People need to drive themselves.
yer next minute they would be locking us inside and driving off a cliff.
How bout if it wasn't a yes or no question, and it was not towards you?
Where's the third pedal?
i see they learned from the first time they tested this system
And then the car behind you just hits you hehe
You can always turn it off or go faster than 19 mph
Funny how you can hear the ABS' rumble.
So increase the brake pressure with a computer?
the driver looks like Grumpy Cat
If you cant breake by yourself you should not have a license! Since there are many accidents in the citys this will save lifes. And from 20-50km/h it will slow down the car but not step on the breakes.
23 shots, 10 cameras. :D
Come on, no higher speed testing to brake but still smash the baloon?
ill buy this car :D but.. the cars behind me don't have this system :( :(
this is for normal people, not for us idiots with Mad Max as a Hero xD
OK, but can it put on the brakes of the car behind??
Last time they tried that with a wall and it didnt worked really...
Well if Volvo focuses more on making the red car... we would have no accidents!
What if I would be going like 100mph, no way it could stop in that short of a distance :O.
btw, the second camera angle shows it's front is audi :O, :D:D:D dunno, what we do know that it has very low fuel consumption, maybe it's a new hybrid :D :D :D ...
isnt the inflatable car more safe?
pretty nice feature if you are dead or a woman
my mom has that car and it worked for her!
Who else stayed just to see the red car get crashed into?
10 Kmde Bu Videodaki Dayı Bile Durdurur Yeterki Önüne Baksın
What?? Fix your bloody keyboard and hit the right keys so people can actually understand you.
The volvo of my dreams and volvo i can afford
What if your trying to run over your boss?
i thought exacly the same thing! more would help. indeed.
Why dont make all the car like the red??? It seems funny...
does this work on all objects? the showroom guys told that it works only on pedestrians...
It works with pedestrians , Vehicles , walls , anything of that size.
I don't know if it works with animals like dogs or cats! I hope it does , but it should be test (with fake animals, not real)!
The city worked in real time when a dog crossed. So, it does work on animals 😊
my friend owned one of theese volvos and tested it intoo a wall turns out his didn't come with the sensors cost himself $2000
I kind of want one of those red cars, just so I could plow into it with my truck...
OR...
Throw it into highway traffic, just to scare people XD (just kidding, that would be super messed up)
No, it looks like the VW GTI Beanbag edition. Wayyyy better crash ratings than any Volvo =P
i cant remember when did i drive at 10MPH within a city - not that i am an unsafe driver but just that this system makes no real sense :(
lol loved the ending XD
I like the Goif :P
which is the other car ?? toyota prius?
I own a 97 ford wagon. ABS removed Chevy 4.3 engine. 280,000 miles orignal! The x'mission is from a 87? Caddy that was front drive v8. NO Emissions shit. gets 27 city and 31 highway.
And in the mean time, someone will punch its car into your tail due to the non expected braking...
i love volvo
