Pedestrian detection
Maybe its [underhood airbag wasn't enough. Rather than cushioning the blow for pedestrians and cyclists, Volvo wants to eliminate collisions altogether. Using advanced sensors that scan the area ahead of the vehicle, the system alerts drivers of an approaching pedestrian or cyclist. If they don’t react to the warning and a collision is imminent, the vehicle will immediately brake with full braking force.
Other companies like Audi offer pedestrian detection, too.
