In the run-up before the announcement, the Swedish automaker teased a number of interesting features, including long-range lidar and in-car sensors to detect when a driver may be distracted or intoxicated.
The new technology, some of which will come standard in the vehicle, is designed to boost Volvo’s reputation for safety at a time when the auto industry is leaning more on high-powered sensors and AI-powered software to prevent fatal traffic collisions. Volvo says the new EV will feature “one of the most advanced sensor sets on the market,” including eight cameras, five radars, 16 ultrasonic sensors, and a cutting-edge lidar sensor. A lidar sensor mounted on the roof of the EX90 will aid the driver in avoiding exterior obstacles, while two cameras inside the vehicle will monitor the driver’s eye behavior to determine whether they are paying attention or even perhaps impaired.
. And with the release of the EX90 SUV, Volvo hopes to bolster that reputation with a suite of new features.Lidar, which stands for “light detection and ranging,” is a key ingredient in autonomous driving. The laser sensor uses near-infrared light to detect the shapes of objects, which helps autonomous vehicles “see” other road users like cars, pedestrians, and cyclists, all without the help of GPS or a network connection.
A camera can't do that. A computer can do that (with the aid of cameras).
They will sell absolutely none of these.
Why do you write articles about cars being released, but almost never include what the price is? If the auto maker refuses to say what the price is going to be, then you should put that in your article. It’s unprofessional, and you do it ALL the time.
Everyone accept inclusion of these devices? Cost? Sure, gov mandated drunk detection ($$$?). Added cost for collision repairs. Personally I'd skip them all. Auto trans if not much more than stick. And it seems obvious that these devices are monitoring (spying on) you.
