there are statistics show that 75 percent of rear-end accident occurred at about 30km / h speed, and Volvo of this “city safety” system, it is these accident nemesis: when the vehicle speed reaches 30km / h, the system will automatically start, by monitoring traffic conditions lidar system on the front windshield, especially in the case of 6 meters before the front. The current car brakes, stop, or when there are other obstacles, the system will first automatically force on the brake system to help the driver make shorten the braking distance before action; or it can adjust the steering wheel to change the vehicle travel path to avoid obstacles. Of course, if the distance is already very close to the obstacle, the system automatically without the need for an emergency brake operation by the driver.
