MB way ahead of the crowd!
MB sown the seeds, Volvo growth the idea..
Just like lane assist then and cyclist in the mirror, all Volvo, A pillars that will not collapse if you hit an elk plus so much more, all Volvo technology and loads more of it. it boring to try and insist on who was first and a waste of life
From the article: "Firm claims 'nobody will be killed or injured in a new Volvo by 2020'"
The DML prediction:
- 2018: Volvo introduce collision detection systems in their cars. Idiots think this means they can watch a movie, read a paper or have a nap and the car won't crash.
- 2019: Volvo spends more on legal defence than R&D
- 2020: Volvo files for bankruptcy due to the huge legal fees incurred defending class action suits filed against them for injuries or deaths caused by their "crash-proof" cars. No new Volvo cars are launched in 2020 fulfilling their promise that "nobody will be killed or injured in a new Volvo by 2020"
Volvo and SAAB have always been very good at sharing all safety ideas with other car makers, and never once kept any life saving ideas to themselves
