The Volvo XC60, the industry s leading driver assistance system, resets the safety benchmark

Mondo Cars Updated on 2024-01-30

Not long ago, a car circle head V with millions of fans posted a Weibo: Many people think that assisted driving is not as safe as driving themselves, but Volvo, which has always taken safety as its biggest selling point, is the first manufacturer in the industry to launch and equip assisted driving. What do you think is the logic behind this?

This Weibo instantly aroused a lot of discussion.

In fact, many people are not clear at all who is the first brand in the automotive circle to launch and equip assisted driving. I have the impression that this technology should be used by German or Japanese brands to attract traffic. But in fact, Volvo is the first brand to eat crabs, and this cold knowledge can be written down for the next time you brag about it. However, this fact seems to be a bit different from Volvo's value proposition of emphasizing safety first.

In fact, there is a cognitive misunderstanding here, that is, many people will think that assisted driving is just a "lazy" means and an unsafe driving behavior.

But in fact, a good set of assisted driving not only does not increase the driving risk, but also shares the driver's driving pressure, so that the driver can maintain a relatively abundant energy, and can better deal with crisis situations. That's why Volvo is actively introducing its own driver assistance features, which are not technically part of the car's active safety, but it does improve the safety factor of the vehicle.

Having said that, Volvo's assisted driving technology has developed so far, it has been very mature, and Volvo also has a set of very advanced active safety technology blessings, so what is there to worry about. For example, take Volvo's XC60, which is equipped with the industry-leading PilotAssist intelligent navigation assistance system, which can achieve full speed coverage of China's road conditions, greatly reducing the pressure on the driver. In order to improve the active safety of the vehicle, the XC60 is also equipped with Volvo's CitySafety system as standard, which acts as an airtight "risk firewall" to isolate potential risks on the road.

First of all, many car owners experience the deepest full-speed range automatic braking function, many people have inadvertently triggered this function, but do not understand how it works.

At this time, if you do not keep a safe distance from the car in front, the car in front has a sudden braking action, and the car behind you is likely to be rear-ended. If you drive a Volvo XC60, it will detect traffic in front of it at speeds of more than 4 km/h through the front windshield camera and radar. When the vehicle in front brakes, stops, or has other obstacles, the XC60 will automatically brake to help users shorten the braking distance. If the obstacle is close to the driver and the driver still does not have the brakes, the system will automatically apply the emergency brakes to avoid accidents.

Don't underestimate this feature, many XC60 owners have said that they have used it and avoided a lot of unnecessary trouble.

In addition, XC60's oncoming vehicle intelligent avoidance function is also worth mentioning, there are many Volvo on the Internet to stage extreme operations, and many people also say that Volvo drivers are powerful. In fact, it is likely that the driver sitting in the car did nothing, and the emergency avoidance operation was done by the vehicle itself. The XC60 overtakes at a speed of 60-140 km/h, and when a collision is unavoidable due to a fast oncoming vehicle in the opposite direction, the system will automatically enable the steering assist function to turn the vehicle back to its original lane. If other oncoming vehicles enter the lane, the XC60 will also brake to slow down or steer to avoid danger.

In addition, CitySafety also integrates functions such as lane departure warning, road departure warning, fatigue warning system, emergency avoidance assist, etc., each function has its corresponding use scenario, everything is just for safety.

In addition, this November, Volvo XC60's discount is not small, **can enter within 300,000, landing**is only in the early 300,000s, friends who have recently planned to buy a car can focus on this mid-size luxury SUV field safety ceiling.
