Drunk Driving Safety Semi Autonomous Speeding volvo

Volvo will be able to watch you drive and pull over if you seem distracted

sudshr47 March 20, 2019

Eyes off the road? As soon as next year, Volvo’s cars will be able to pull over automatically — thanks to cameras that watch you as you drive.

Earlier this month, the Swedish company announced its future cars will have a max speed limit of 112 mph. Now, the company says it’s introducing in-car cameras and sensors that monitor the driver for signs of distraction or intoxication — which include looking away from the road for too long, keeping your hands off the steering wheel, weaving through lanes, or reacting too slowly while driving.

Volvo Polestar 2 is the first car to include Google’s native dashboard

sudshr47 February 27, 2019

On Wednesday, Volvo’s performance brand debuted its first all-electric car, the Polestar 2. But the new Tesla Model 3 competitor is causing a stir in the auto industry not only for its performance, but for being the first car to feature Google’s native version of Android built for cars.

The first Polestar vehicle (aptly named Polestar 1) was a plug-in hybrid two-door coupe that came out in 2017. The brand’s second car is a bit more practical with four doors and longer battery range, mimicking the price, design, and capability of the Model 3 — Tesla’s more affordable sedan that starts at $42,000.
