Volvo XC90: Driver support / Automatic braking during delayed evasive maneuvers with City Safety
City Safety1 can assist the driver by automatically braking the
vehicle when it is not possible to avoid a collision by steering alone.
City Safety assists the driver by periodically attempting to predict possible

vehicle were to be detected at a late stage.

Your vehicle (1) cannot detect any potential escape routes for veering away from
the vehicle ahead (2) and may therefore apply the brakes at an earlier stage.

starting to apply the brakes at an earlier stage.

the collision...
