The new all-electric SUV EX90, will feature eight cameras, five radars, 16 ultrasonic sensors, and a cutting-edge LiDAR sensor, making it volvocars’ “safest model ever.” — via drivingdotca autonews autoindustry technology electricvehicle
How does it work? The system uses light in the form of a pulsed laser to measure ranges with high precision in almost all conditions; this lets it sense small objects hundreds of metres ahead, giving the vehicle more time to inform, act, and avoid danger.
Volvo says its research suggests the software and sensors can help reduce collisions that result in seriousInside, sensors and cameras are powered by Volvo’s in-house-developed algorithms, which are programmed to identify and evaluate gaze concentration. This enables the EX90 to identify distracted driving, tiredness, and intoxication and, like some current tech already does, give the driver a soft nudge, with intensity increasing if needed.
“Our research shows that by simply observing where the driver is looking and how often and for how long their eyes are closed, we can tell a lot about the state of the driver,” said Emma Tivesten, Senior Technical Expert, Volvo Cars Safety Center. Although it’s sure to be commonplace in the next few years, the aforementioned tech isn’t standard. Volvo says “once our safety verifications are in place and all necessary approvals have been secured, this Autonomous Drive technology will be introduced in the EX90 and available through subscription.”
