Volvo cars to be sold in India to have Pedestrian Detection
The Volvo S60 in India will have Pedestrian Detection and will monitor traffic to prevent low speed rear-end collisions.
The system can track up to 62 moving, carbon-based life forms, calculating if any of them are on an intercept course. If a collision with one of these data-pedestrians seems imminent, the car will alert the driver with flashing red lights and a frantic beeping. If the driver still doesn't react, the car will slam on the brakes, avoiding the pedestrian up to speeds of 22 mph.
IMO: Tiny Goa has a death a day from road accidents and certainly needs these precautions. This innovation is far from perfect - people will still get hit - but better than the present situation where there can be genuine fear to cross some roads. 110% purchase tax.
