Volvo are conducting a large field test with the aim of preventing any injury or accident in a Volvo by 2020.
There are around 100 volvos that have currently been installed with this tech and it goes in and looks at how people monitor things.
The technology will monitor the drivers behaviour whilst driving and analyse how this changes depending on the situation. There are many tests being carried out at the same time as this so they are actually spending their money quite sensibly.
What happens is there are cameras actually within the car that can look at how a drivers head and eyes move. The car also films a view from the front and back of the car and analyses how the driver’s behaviour changes with different situations.
One of the key points that was stated that in order to move towareds a crash-free future we are going to have to look into how drivers are actually behaving.
Sweden are one of the main places that are going to be doing this with over 150 vehicles being equipped with it all. In addition, 275 vehicles in Europe will get less advanced equipment and another 1,000 responses will be secured by letting the drivers fill in a survey,” says Trent Victor, research leader for Road User Behaviour at SAFER.
Although it seems like it is for a good cause the only real reason they are doing it is so they can make more money out of their cars.
Is it likely that all of this is going to mean that nobody is going to be crashing when they are actually driving. This will use existing safety technology to really help with the future of driving as if this prevented an accident from happening it would be brilliant.
Of course it is obvious that a lot of people are just not interested in getting a Volvo which is why of course you could look into getting BMW Cars. The BMW 1 series has got to be the way forward on this so you should really look into getting one of these. Of course you could always go after used cars as these can also prove to be help you out a lot. You should decide on this one.
