Animal-Avoiding Automobiles

The Volvo S90 Warns You If You're At Risk of Hitting An Animal

— December 3, 2015 — Autos
The Volvo S90 is a new and improved sedan that is equipped with a high-tech powertrain and a handsome design that is a long shot from the traditional performance and design cues traditionally associated with the Swedish automaker.

This car will be equipped with a raft of animal avoidance technologies that will enable drivers to be warned if they are at risk of colliding with an animal on the road. This technology is part of Volvo's attempt to eliminate fatalities entirely by the year 2020.

Volvo has traditionally been labelled as an auto brand for your grandparents, with its boring boxy designs and reliable, safe build. The Volvo S90 is only the latest attempt by the company to move away from its past and embrace more slick and appealing design and performance.

Trend Themes
1. Animal-avoiding Automobiles - Automakers could explore integrating animal detection technology in their vehicles, creating safer roads and reducing fatalities.
2. Next-gen Vehicle Safety - The Volvo S90 is an example of how technologically advanced safety features can be integrated into a vehicle, providing new opportunities for the development of intelligent cars and future mobility solutions.
3. Auto Industry Innovation - Volvo's shift towards more sleek and appealing designs presents a shift in the industry, encouraging automakers to explore innovative designs and features to attract younger consumers.
Industry Implications
1. Automotive Industry - The integration of animal avoidance technology provides an opportunity for automakers to differentiate their products by prioritizing safety features.
2. Technology Industry - The development of animal detection technology presents new opportunities for technology companies to partner with automakers and develop new solutions for vehicle safety.
3. Environmental Industry - As road accidents involving animals can result in harm to both animals and drivers, animal avoidance technology offers environmental companies an opportunity to advocate for sustainable and safe transportation solutions.
