Detection system automatically brakes for cyclists

Announced at this year's Geneva Motor Show, the revamped system relies on an advanced radar system mounted on the grille and a high definition camera to discern whether a vehicle is getting too close to a pedestrian or biker. When bicyclists swerve in front of the automobile, the setup immediately alerts the driver and applies full brake power – something Volvo claims is a world's first. The Swedish manufacturer says it will outfit all of its new models with the technology as of May this year.
