If you look at the past to see that Volvo engineers have always been the most focused on the safety of their cars. Although it is often repeated, стоит отметить в этом месте, that it is to them we owe the seat belts, but also at each presentation of the following model substantial part of the presentation is devoted to the issues of this region. Swedish manufacturer is so confident in the effectiveness of their systems, that recently decided to promise, what to 2020 year nobody will die and will not even hurt while moving one of their new cars.
I must admit, that's a pretty bold oath. CNN Money notes, but, it is not impossible to achieve. Although, in the United States alone, rides on roads, now nine models, in which no one died during the last four years. One of these cars is a luxury SUV Volvo - XC90. this car was, however, made of steel with a boron content and includes a number of systems, providing a very high level of security, including the automatic braking in the event of risk of collision detection, Automatic belt tension with unintended lane change and a warning about driver fatigue.
As Volvo wants to achieve its goal? Key, по словам шведского производителя – технология автономной езды, which excludes all risks, Human Factors. However, this is not the whole strategy.
- The first element in the direction of the goals should be to ensure maximum safety in the event of a collision. This step includes installing multiple well spaced airbags, production structures made of strong materials and strategically designed deformation zones, which will absorb the impact weight.
- The second step is as on the introduction of new technologies, such as the previously mentioned systems XC90 plus signs detector, adaptive cruise control, etc.. d.
The question is, или производитель в состоянии предвидеть все возможности и на самом деле защитить водителя и пассажиров от каких-либо угроз?
