Volvo Cyclist Detection with Full Auto Brake Overview



A world-first in automotive safety. Take a look at the Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection with Full Auto Brake safety technology. New advanced software has made it possible to extend our collision warning and auto brake system technology to detect (and auto brake for) cyclists as well. The sensor system scans the area ahead of the car. A radar sensor behind the grille continuously monitors to detect objects in front of the car. A camera behind the windscreen determines what type of object is in front of the car. If a cyclist heading in the same direction as the car swerves out in front, there is an instant warning and full braking power is applied.
