New generation of City Safety: Steering support
The new Volvo XC60 is set to debut on March 7 at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show, and aside from releasing some teasers to whet our appetites, Volvo is also revealing some key details of the next-gen premium crossover ahead of the unveiling, focusing on – what else? – safety.
Naturally, the new XC60 will come with all the safety features from its larger 90 Series (XC90, S90, V90) siblings, such as Large Animal Detection, Run-off Road Mitigation and optional Pilot Assist semi-autonomous driving. However, the smaller car will also debut a host of its own technologies, which are focused on steering the driver out of trouble.
The company’s City Safety system, which includes automated emergency braking, has been augmented with steering support, which kicks in should the car detect that braking alone will not prevent a collision. In such cases, the system will provide steering assistance to avoid obstacles such as vehicles, pedestrians and large animals, at speeds between 50 and 100 km/h.
Also set to be introduced is Oncoming Lane Mitigation, which steers the vehicle back into its lane if the driver wanders out into oncoming traffic; the system is active between 60 km/h and 140 km/h. The optional Blind Spot Information System has also been upgraded and will now be able to steer the car back into its own lane if a lane change is conducted with a vehicle in the driver’s blind spot.
Set to be based on the same Scalable Product Architecture (SPA) as the 90 Series, the next XC60 is set to grow larger, with a longer wheelbase. Expect the latest Drive-E 2.0 litre four-cylinder turbo petrol and diesel engines, along with 1.5 litre three-cylinder versions and a T5 Twin Engine plug-in hybrid.

Evasive steering into opposite lane then say hello to 18wheel Volvo FM trailer. Volvo China terbaik.
When we will get all those safety features as standard in Proton?
When toyota/honda implements it 1st here.
Proton? Should ask Toyota, Honda, BMW, Mercedes etc to bring those safety features first. Charge their car a lot but with downgraded safety features compared to their European models.
Probability is higher if Geely takes over Proton.
If PSA takes over, Proton will be much safer too, cuz spend more time in workshop, waiting parts from France to arrive than being on the road.
Geely > all
Volvo > all
Why wait France when they make car here? Obviously they will use local vendor or other SEA country vendor. P2 don’t wait parts from Japan.
Volvo China meets with Volvo Sweden. Volvo Sweden winrar alwiz.
I don’t any car maker gonna get the tech unless Volvo gave away its patent like it did on three-point seat belt decades ago.
Evasive steering is legally wrong. A driver should be given the decision to crash into the obstacle in front on his lane instead of steering to another lane without warning & endangering other cars or worst cause an accident in the other lane. For example, i would rather crash into the idiot in front who suddenly cut into my lane & stop than to steer into the opposite lane and crash into on coming cars. With a dash cam, i can proof the car infront created the accident. If it steer to opposite lane, the dash cam shows that i’m in the wrong and cause of the accident !
geely please buy proton wooohooo
