We all want a safer car, one that we are less likely to get hurt in. Car manufactures are giving people just what they want, safer cars. And they are going to great lengths to do so. We hear about new features all the time, bizarre placement of airbags and manufactured crumple zones.

All these features work with one common goal, to make the road less likely to hurt you, but Volvo is trying to go above and beyond. Volvo is currently working on car that will guaranty that you walk away from the crash.

They hope to have this vehicle developed by 2020. Not only are they putting in more safety features to make crashing less dangerous, but they are also working at creating a car that is less likely to crash.

Volvo has high hopes for making a car that can that can actually steer itself in emergency situations. A car that after the driver freezes can take over steer and brake on its own.

Giving the car the ability brake on its own will bring the pre impact speed down 15 mph. That does not sound like much, but according to estimations that would cut the death rate in half.

Volvo plans on doing this with a series of sensors ranging from radar to sonar. Which will be able to detect emergency situations and make need adjustments.

At this point car manufactures are a long way from making the injury-proof car, but steady advancement in safety technology helping to make your time on the road safer.
