Safe Space Technology
To protect and care for everyone in and around your Volvo.
Everything we put in a Volvo is designed to create a safe space in and around our cars. Technology helps us do just that
Data: a new security zone.
From just one patent:
We once shared a life-saving idea – the three-point seat belt. Now we’re taking it one step further with the help of real-time data, aiming to save another million lives.
In billions of data points
Drawing on insights from real-world driving, artificial intelligence (AI), and over-the-air updates, our latest cars can anticipate hazards, adapt, and evolve, helping to protect people in ways that were previously impossible. Like a new kind of seatbelt, built from data.
Driving behavior
analysis system
We humans are great drivers. But sometimes, we have a day off. In those moments, this award-winning system, available on select models, can help detect distraction and weakness. Combined with external sensor data, your car is designed to know when to intervene.
Passenger detection
It’s human to forget. That’s why the advanced cabin-wide occupant detection system, available on select models, is designed to help you never leave your loved ones behind. Interior radars can detect movement on a sub-millimeter scale, like a baby’s gentle breathing.
Advanced sensor set
A second pair of eyes on the road. Our advanced sensor suite, including cameras, radar, ultrasonic sensors and lidar, provides a highly accurate view of the surrounding area in real time.
Even the best drivers deserve a safety net
Drive safely with Smart Speed Limit. From 2020, all new Volvo cars have a maximum speed limit of 180 km/h. Care Key also lets you set an additional limit when you lend your car to a friend, family or new driver.
Reliable protection where it matters most. Our strong safety cage, made of high strength steel, protects you and your passengers. Crumple zones absorb impact forces to reduce the risk of injury in the event of a collision
Protecting lives where they matter. From thorax airbags to curtain airbags, our innovations have helped protect occupants — with intelligent deployment based on real-world crash studies.
