Volvo has big plans to make its cars fatality free by 2020.
In 2007, the company announced its vision of using technology to eliminate deaths and reduce injuries in its vehicles.
Since then, Volvo has continued to roll out new safety features in its vehicles, updating systems as new technology becomes available.
By 2020, Volvo aims to bring these technologies together to make a commercial vehicle with advanced autonomy.
Here's a look at some of the safety features Volvo is using to make this possible.
Pedestrian detection identifies people near the car so that it can keep a safe distance.
VolvoSensors on the car help detect if a person is near and will issue a warning if you are too close. If there's no time for a warning, the car will automatically brake to avoid a collision with the pedestrian.
Cyclist detection will let you know when a biker is near even if you can't see them.
There's even a large animal detection feature that helps ensure you never hit an animal while on the road.
