Volvo promises deathproof cars by 2020

The world of automobiles is just gearing for to the impossible. These white engineers are really pushing themselves beyond the limit and come 2020, we will be witnessing a revolution in the automobile world. But for now, the hot gist around is that Volvo promises death proof cars by 2020. According to them these cars will have the highest security features ever installed in a car such that no one will be killed or seriously injured in a new Volvo car or SUV...

Not in Nigeria where witches will kill you even if you hit a banana tree

Oyibo will always be oyibo.

Meanwhile, Nigerian minister of technology is still figuring out how Nigeria can produce pencil by 2018.

nextstep:
And people will still overspeed, drive too close, tap on their phones, ignore road and weather conditions. No matter the technology in your car, the laws of physics will not prevent accidents with careless drivers.

Ijaya123:



What is the name of that minister abeg?

kennyjam:


even if u jst hit one leaf.

CeeJay9ja:


I dey tell you

Enemyofpeace:
lai Mohammed

Ijaya123:


Is Lai Mohammed the minister of Science and Technology?

Enemyofpeace:
sorry na slip of fingers, it's halimodu sheriff

kennyjam:
Mechanical Engineers at it again. We make our workd movable.
There're only three faculties in every Higher institution "Faculty of Engineering, Medicine and Others"
There're only two departments in all higher institutions Dept. of Mech Engr. and Others.

God bless Mech. engineers!

God bless Others also!

Ijaya123:


Are you too ashamed to admit it that an Igbo man named Ogbonnaya Onu made that disgraceful statement?

I'm tempted to ask how old you are. So as to understand the the thinking behind your reasoning like this.

TheBlessedMAN:
Death proof cars? What about 'RECESSIONPROOF pockets?

kennyjam:




THAT CAR no go fit work everywhere for nigeria...... .......Unless them beg them bat.

Ijaya123:
Over the years, Volvo has been adjudged as the safest car in the world. If any vehicle manufacturer is going to achieve that feat, I will put my bet on Volvo

slurryeye:
When I see cruise control, lane keeping assistance, large animal detection, collision avoidance and pedestrians detection, I know the car is not meant for Nigerians at all. Any Nigerian that buys this car thinking he has bought deathproof car will likely die faster than someone riding a normal car. How can you have large animal detection or pedestrians detection when Fulani herdsmen roam Nigerian roads like it is their father property? How can you have collision avoidance when an average Nigerian driver is a madman/woman on the wheel? And how can you have cruise control or lane keeping assistance when potholes on Nigerian roads are big enough to swallow a car. Abeg Volvo develop special car specifically for Nigerian roads. I will suggest design like this

Volvo promises deathproof cars by 2020

The world of automobiles is just gearing for to the impossible. These white engineers are really pushing themselves beyond the limit and come 2020, we will be witnessing a revolution in the automobile world. But for now, the hot gist around is that Volvo promises death proof cars by 2020. According to them these cars will have the highest security features ever installed in a car such that no one will be killed or seriously injured in a new Volvo car or SUV.

Ultimately, all these new technologies will be tied together to create a car that can, literally, drive itself.

Here’s a look at the features that, when combined together in one vehicle, will essentially make it crash proof.

1.Adaptive Cruise Control: Adaptive cruise control, which is already available on many new cars, uses radar and sometimes other sensors to detect vehicles on the road ahead. You set a maximum speed and your car maintains a safe following distance on its own, operating the gas and the brakes for you. Some systems like this only work at highway cruising speeds, but many can work even in stop-and-go traffic.


2.Auto lane keeping assist: Cameras detect lane lines and road edges, and the car steers itself to stay in its lane.


3.Collision avoidance: Radar, cameras or other sensors detect obstacles ahead and warn the driver. If the driver still doesn’t react, the car can apply the brakes automatically to avoid, or at least reduce, the impact of a crash. In the United States, auto safety regulators have found this technology particularly effective in reducing crashes.

4.Pedestrian detection: Cameras, including ones that can see in the dark, are programmed to detect human forms that might wander into the path of the car. Drivers can be alerted and again, the car can brake automatically.

5.Large animal detection: Hitting a cow is definitely bad for the animal but it’s also very bad for a car’s passengers. Volvo has created a system that can detect when a big animal is walking in front of your car, saving both you and the absent-minded animal.

6.All other existing features including airbags and seat belts would also be improved.

Sadly, it may take sometime before all these features can function in Nigeria. How will lane keep assist even work when our roads and highways are not properly demarcated?

SMH!!!
Nigerian Mech. Engr students wey no fit couple a car? Guy stop decieving yourself. Afterall, no be only Mechanical engineers dey build car, elect/elect engrs and chemical engrs must be consulted
Great MESA!!!!
