In either case volvo seems to have a genuine interest in cyclist safety. They have another system in their cars that will automatically brake if a collision is imminent with a cyclist.

- genericone 11y agoMostly humor, but a little pessimism as well. A little hard to imagine, but I was thinking of a scenario in the future where a news report on some cyclist accident will not only mention "the cyclist was not wearing a helmet", but also "the cyclist did not apply hi-visibility paint". Thanks for the link, I was not aware of other Volvo technologies for cyclist safety. It seems Volvo does genuinely care for cyclists. I was wary that they were continuing a precedent of saddling cyclists with the responsibility in an accident, but if they are doing things on the vehicle side, then its a two-pronged assault for increasing cyclist safety, and something I can get behind.
