What about when a car is driven off the road into a ditch? That's surely lethal in many cases, but might not be detected by sensors until it's too late. Similarly, if a car is stationary or in the process of turning and another car drives into it, a la T-bone, there is really nothing that could be gained from applying the brakes, and an automated voice or dashboard notification would really just be useless. Good effort, but the project might be really only be relying on marketing hype for success. t sounds as though Volvo’s new design assumes that failure to break when approaching an obstacle is the only reason accidents occur.
