Injury-Proof Volvo: Optimistic or Impossible?
By John Coyle
Editor
Volvo has always been a pioneer in the field of safety, but its latest effort still seems overly ambitious. The company has set the lofty goal of making its cars injury proof by 2020, and even wants to use technologylike systems which will apply the brakes if an object is detected in the vehicle’s pathto even eliminate the possibility of accidents. Removing the human-error factor seems pretty far-fetched, but you have to wonder how close the Swedish safety savants can get to the injury-proof goal. For more details, check out the Reuters clip below.

The technology is cool, but i defintely wouldnt buy something that has a computer with that much control over my vehicle. Just think what havoc a computer glitch could wreak. It’s a great idea but remember, more features in a car = more things that can break.

All I can say is cool. However, how do you eliminate the human factor. And how many “false” accidents will this create in the process.
