Ever wished you had a car that drove on it's own while you just relaxed to music ?Well ,your wish might come true soon !!.Volvo has tested its new s60 model,which has the first in-car system that can sense an imminent collision with pedestrians and put break automatically if the driver doesn't .The system is the latest line of developments made possible by sophisticated sensors based on cameras, radars and lasers
The sensors already provide drivers with adaptive cruise control ,which change the car's speed to maintain a safe distance from vehicle in front ,as well as technology such as semi- autonomous parking systems
Jonas Ekmark,a researcher at Volvo headquarters near Gothenburg ,Sweden ,says that we are entering an era in which vehicles will also gather real time information about weather and highway hazards ,and use this to improve fuel efficiency and makes life less stressful for driver and safer for all road users..
