This is only one of many things that Volvo does to improve the safety of passengers and those outside of their vehicles. I have a 2010 Volvo that has a feature called City Safety [1], an automatic braking system that prevents low speed collisions in city environments, and BLIS which indicates the presence of a person or vehicle in your blind spot. They also have a new cyclist detection system that engages the brakes [3]. I think if drivers can be more aware of others, pedestrians and cyclists, in combination with smarter vehicles that assist drivers in accident avoidance, it's a win-win.

A Volvo engineer invented the modern 3-point seat belt, then made the new seat belt design patent open in the interest of safety. as well as countless other innovations http://www.volvogroup.com/group/global/en-gb/researchandtechnology/milestones/Pages/milestones.aspx http://www.volvogroup.com/group/global/en-gb/researchandtech...
