No more rear-end collisions?

Last month, we learned about Volvo's collision-avoidance feature, called City Safety.  City Safety was designed to prevent rear-end collisions in slow-moving (speeds between 2 and 19 mph), dense traffic -- automatically braking the car using a sensor built into the windshield which detects and reacts to other vehicles within 18 feet of the front bumper.


City Safety is a standard feature on 2010, 2011 and 2012 XC60 mid-size SUVs; 2011 and 2012 S60 sedans; and 2012 S80 sedans and XC70 wagons.

Car manufacturers have introduced many other crash-avoidance technologies.

Lower claims translates into cheaper auto insurance.
