We Try to Crash the Volvo XC60
Volvo gave us their new crossover vehicle—the XC60. It’s pretty decent and around town it handles remarkably well, but outside of town it’s not so great. Anyhow, the most exciting thing I found about the new XC60 is the laser mounted on the front! This car stops by itself! No bull. Check out the video below, and you can read more over at iMotor.

Volvo told me while I was there that they are working on a system that works at higher speeds and also developing a system that will avoid other objects in the road such as say… a sheep?

Heh – bad day to be a sheep I guess. That does look pretty smart and well implemented though. I’d like to see it work at a slightly higher speed, but I do like that it’s mostly a slow-speed thing. Gets around some worries I’d have of giving the car the ability to slam on the brakes from a faster rate of speed.

That is amazing technology! If they can get it to stop at high speeds, they are gonna save a lot of lives.
