Volvo develops an undead car: it can drive automatically without crashing
According to foreign media reports, the auto giant Volvo is developing an "undead car" that can drive autonomously and will not have a crash. This super-secure computerized car will be equipped with high-tech sensors that will automatically "refuse" to turn to other objects. Volvo said the undead car will meet consumers in 2020, and some of the life-saving technologies used will be applied to other cars in 2014.
Volvo is developing the so-called "undead car". This car will install dozens of sensors to monitor pedestrians and other road conditions, and can take active measures to avoid collisions. Volvo points out that ultra-safe gas cars to avoid traffic accidents and deaths will be available in 2020
Sensors can continue to function during high-speed driving to ensure that the car maintains a safe distance from surrounding vehicles
Volvo S40 uses some collision sensors, plans to use more advanced systems in cars by 2014

Anders Ogensen, head of Volvo ’s government affairs department, said: “No one will die or be injured when driving a new Volvo car that will be launched in 2020. This is our goal.†Volvo is headquartered in Sweden and now belongs to China ’s Geely Group all.
Volvo said that the maximum speed of the new collision-free car when driving in the city can reach 31 miles per hour (about 50 kilometers per hour). Now, major automakers including Volvo, Ford, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Vauxhall and the search giant Google are developing fully automatic "robot cars" that can be like Will Smith in the science fiction movie "Mechanical Enemies" Driving a car is like driving by yourself. The biggest obstacle to the development of fully automatic vehicles is not technology-most of the required technology has been published-but the public acceptance and confirmation of the responsible party after an accident. If a car that claims to be collision-free has a crash, who should be held responsible, the driver or the manufacturer?
Volgen ’s Ogensen pointed out: “We have conducted extensive tests on public roads in Spain and on Volvo ’s test track in western Sweden, traveling thousands of kilometers. Future cars are like farmer ’s horses. Farmers control horses and carriages Even if you fall asleep, the horse will not hit the tree or fall off the cliff. "Volvo has 85 years of history and is known for making the world's safest car. It is also proud of it. The three-point seat belt is from this company.
Volvo hopes to launch a safe collision-free car with a maximum speed of 31 miles per hour in 2014, facing congested urban traffic, and a faster zero-accident car in 2020. Amendments to relevant international laws within the framework of the Vienna Road Traffic Convention are underway to eliminate obstacles facing the development and promotion of fully automatic vehicles. This convention is the basis of EU and UK traffic laws and requires that cars must always be under driver control. Fully automatic cars clearly break this requirement.
Over the past few years, Volvo ’s 50 engineers have been developing new collision-free car technologies with companies such as Ricardo in the UK. The prototype has been extensively tested on public roads in Spain and Volvo ’s test track in western Sweden, with travel distances of thousands of kilometers. Marcus Rothof, head of R & D for driver assistance technology at Volvo, said: "We believe this is the future of the car and we hope to be a pioneer in this field."
Skeptics believe that the development of collision-free cars is a "dream". Industry experts and giants point out that collision-free technology is essentially related to satellite navigation, airbags, automatic parking systems, sensors that can "see" white lines and keep cars in the lane, and collision avoidance and autonomous constant-speed manipulators (in close proximity (Automatic braking when the vehicle ahead) is the same. Now, all these technologies have been applied to modern cars.
Mercedes-Benz's next-generation flagship model, the S-Class, will be launched in early 2013. This car uses an automatic braking system, the maximum speed in German highways and urban environments can reach 124 miles (about 200 kilometers per hour). Since 2010, the American search giant Google has been testing its own self-driving car prototype.
