Volvo...thinking for you

How many times have you found yourself in a moment of panic as you realize turning the dial on the radio took your focus away from the car in front of you bringing on eminent impact?

Scary isn't it?  The locked up feeling you get in your chest, the terror of the oncoming collision freezes you in place, you can't apply the breaks, hell...you can't even move, you're petrified by your damaging decision.

If you find yourself doing this commonly, noticing too late how close you are to the car in front, then buy a 2010 Volvo XC60, in cases like this it will break for you.

THAT"S RIGHT!  THE VEHICLE WILL BREAK FOR YOU!



So how does it do it?

The front-end of the XC60 has a laser sensor that constantly scans the area in front of you tracking any vehicles it contacts.

Get too close or approach too quickly and the vehicle will apply the breaks as needed.  That means if you let loose on the break at a stop the car will gently correct your move.  Coming screaming like a demon towards a red light and it will slam on the breaks.
