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.
