Always thinking like an Economist. They would have taking into consideration, the measures for faulty sensor; auto-replace sensors. Note that the car will not just have one sensor! On my opinion, it might have not less than 10 sensors.

Finally, always think like a scientist.
I am a scientist. And you are not. That's why you speak of "they" referring to what so called scientists have done without a clue. And that's why you think "they" can actually build a "crash-proof" car.

afam4eva:
I share a similar sentiment with you but you have to understand that automobile companies evolve overtime. I used to say the same thing about Volkswagen too but they've released some pretty good cars.

Porsche Cayenne and Volkswagen Toureg are some of the best SUV's ever made; thanks to Volskwagen.

I love Audi Q7, one of the baddest SUV's design wise....okay, come to think of the crown of all sedans (Bentley continental).

Volkswagen in the past few years has been acquiring several carmakers and is set to beat Toyota in the larget car maker of the world.

We heard something similar back in the days when titanic was due for her very first voyage. What happened afterwards?

The summary of what I've learnt overtime programming and trying to design error free systems and software is summarized below

"A common mistake people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools."
- Douglas Adams, author (1952-2001).

webaplanet: Volvo develops the 'no death' car: Vehicles which drive themselves and are totally crashproof could be on British roads in eight years

Vehicle will be fitted with sensors that can detect potential collisions and take action

Firm claims 'nobody will be killed or injured in a new Volvo by 2020'


Car giant Volvo is developing 'no death' cars that drive themselves and are impossible to crash – ready for launch in showrooms within eight years.

The computerised vehicles will be fitted with high-tech sensors and will 'refuse to be steered' into other objects.

Volvo says they will be on sale to customers by 2020, but that some of the life-saving technology will be incorporated into its vehicles even

earlier – from 2014 – it says

there is what i dont understand.
(1) "i read something like vehicles that will drive themselves" can someone explain that to me? Does it mean if i want to travel to my village from lagos and i am fortunate or will i say unfortunate to go with this suicidal volvo vehicle, i will just lie down on the seat and start sleeping only to wake up in my father's compound in the village? Somebody please explain.
(2)"i also read somthing that it is crash proof" does it mean that it can neither jamm nor be jammed by another vehicle, or does it mean when those vehicles hit it, it will remain as if nothing happened to it? Please i need someone that understand this thing to just explain it further
