Volvo Trucks - Collision Warning with Emergency Brake even in a curve

Volvo Trucks´ Collision Warning with Emergency Brake demonstrates one of the industry’s most advanced safety technologies. The system alerts the driver if there is a risk of collision with a vehicle in front, activating the brakes if necessary. It monitors the vehicles in front with the help of both radar and camera technology. The system also functions on curvy roads.

The demonstration was carried out by professionals in a closed off area.

Wow this truck has better safety features than luxury cars

[DMRMRT_TR]

Your safety technology saved a child! You are great.

[shiladityaray]

hope one day every truck will feature safety systems like

[supahfly_uk]

Volvo on some serious safety i like it.

[FokkerBoombass]

Hot damn, did that lower lip actually scrape the road? Makes me wish all trucks driving around were Volvos.

[nickyvanhouwelingen]

I would like to see this test again but then with multiple cars to stress test the emergency break system. Because traffic exists out of multiple cars behaving unexpectedly.

Thanks for make the life easier to the TORETO

They can use this in supercars in Cruise mode. Volvo is the best. Other truck companies don't concentrate on safety mostly like your hand signal; hand waving to the driver means to stop till I pass right? But keep up the good work. Volvo is the best.

I used to work for a parcel delivery express company back in 2014/2015 and there was a contracted driver who swore buy volvo I remember when the new FH13? (please correct me if I'm wrong) came out in 2014 he was all over them like a pig in s**t even gave me a tour of his units and a ride, I also like volvo trucks and cars and the saftey systems on these vehicles are astonishing

Can the trailer have the same effect even when it is full?

[rafal.pijanowski]

It works great. Volvo did a great job!

[hilsjessie]

What about on ice and snow? A car cuts you off and the truck applies the brakes it’s self too hard and the trailer kicks out to on coming traffic, will the truck sense the trailer now has become a danger? Will it stop braking? It’s nice that these tests were done in ideal conditions.

[darrylrichardson]

I know this is a stupid question but is it possible to get one of those in the USA ?

[grbu]

Prime mover was only a single axle while trailer was triple axle.
Meaning that trailer wouldn't have been fully loaded - if loaded at all.

[lucario]

What is the max speed of the truck for automatic brake ?

[davesawyer]

Can it compensate for if the road is wet. Pretty sure braking like that in the wet isn't going to end well. Awesome brake performance though. Is this Volvos own system or a third parties? Or aren't you at liberty to say.. ? :)

[j.h.walker]

And what if this activates on a false positive? Also potentially unbelievably dangerous.

[dgfdfyddf]

the volvo driver is safe, but the driver behind the volvo is not so lucky

[ivowiersma]

im now 15 years old and when I become a lorry driver do I have to do anything with this technology in 5 years ;)
