Next-Generation Safety Innovation in the Volvo EX90 Earns TIME Recognition
November 29 2024,
TIME magazine has named the Volvo EX90's driver understanding system one of 2024's Best Inventions. For drivers in Toronto's west end, this recognition reinforces the exceptional value and innovation available in Volvo's newest electric SUV.
The EX90's groundbreaking system brings particular benefits to those navigating the challenging mix of urban and highway driving in our region. Using sophisticated real-time sensing technology, the system actively monitors driver alertness and behavior, providing crucial support during busy commutes along the 401 or relaxed drives through local communities.
The system's intelligent design brings multiple layers of protection to Toronto families. It begins with subtle reminders and can escalate its response if needed. In critical situations, such as if a driver becomes unresponsive, the EX90 can safely bring itself to a complete stop while activating hazard lights to alert other road users – a feature particularly valuable on our busy metropolitan roads.
This innovation builds on Volvo's remarkable safety heritage. Since introducing the three-point safety belt in 1959, which has saved an estimated million lives worldwide, Volvo has consistently pioneered automotive safety features. Here at Volvo Cars Metro West, we take pride in continuing this tradition of safety leadership.
The EX90's recognition places it among 200 innovations deemed to be changing lives globally. The driver understanding system comes standard on every EX90, reflecting Volvo's belief that advanced safety features should be accessible to all drivers.
The system's capabilities extend beyond immediate safety features. Through over-the-air updates and continuous learning from real-time data, the EX90 becomes more attuned to driver behavior patterns over time. This adaptive technology ensures the vehicle continues to evolve throughout its lifetime, meeting the changing needs of modern drivers.
Our expert team has undergone comprehensive training to demonstrate these advanced features, helping customers understand how the system works to protect them and their loved ones. We believe the EX90 represents more than just a new vehicle; it showcases our commitment to achieving zero collisions through innovative technology.
The TIME recognition validates Volvo's persistent pursuit of automotive safety excellence. As we continue our journey toward an all-electric future, the EX90 demonstrates that environmental consciousness and safety innovation can work hand in hand.
This revolutionary approach to driver safety marks a significant step forward in how vehicles interact with their operators. Rather than simply responding to incidents, the EX90 works proactively to prevent them, creating a more secure driving environment for everyone on the road.
