With flared back and forcefully styled front end quarters, at any rate passing by the idea signs and spy photographs, ought to cut a preferably forceful figure than its forerunner.

Volvo The Future of Media Streaming in Self-Driving Cars

Volvo Cars and Ericsson are developing intelligent media streaming for when drivers can view content in self-driving cars.

Volvo 2020 pledge: No one will die in our cars.

Claiming that your product is death-proof sounds a little grandiose, if not downright dangerous.

But if any car manufacturer can do it, it might be Volvo, whose pioneering safety has been setting industry-wide standards for decades, making three-point seatbelts and rear-facing car seats the norm.

Now, the Swedish company says their vehicles will be death-proof by 2020, making good on industry promises that autonomous vehicles are not just cool, but life-saving.

"If you meet Swedish engineers, they're pretty genuine," Volvo Cars North America CEO Lex Kerssemakers told CNN. "They don't say things when they don't believe in it."

And experts say consumers shouldn't be totally surprised. Volvo's post-2020 cars will basically combine a slew of autonomous driving features that they and other companies have been introducing for years, even as Americans say they're still wary of "self-driving" technology: Only about half say they'd consider buying a self-driving vehicle, or partially self-driving, although far more say that they like individual autonomous features.

Volvo's 2020 plans will bring together sensor technology like adaptive cruise control, which can work in stop-and-go commuter traffic; it's already an option in its XC90 SUV, which won the North American Truck of the Year award and a Top Safety Pick Plus from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

The company's supposedly death-defying cars will also use sensing and alerting technology to let drivers know when it senses the car is going off the road, turning into oncoming traffic, or about to hit a cyclist or large animal — and if that doesn't work, they'll put on the brakes automatically. The vehicles will even keep an eye out for sleepy or distracted drivers, sounding a warning if erratic driving suggests someone's nodding off behind the wheel.

Although Volvo is the first to make a zero-death pledge, similar semi-autonomous features have helped nine cars achieve a zero-fatality record from 2009 to 2012, including Volvo's XC90.

"With the development of full autonomy we are going to push the limits of automotive safety – because if you make a fully autonomous vehicle you have to think through everything that potentially can happen with a car," the company's safety engineer Erik Coelingh told CNN.

2020 is viewed as the year fully self-driving cars might hit the roads, but tests show there's still a lot to be done before human drivers can completely sit back and let their vehicles do their thing. Google's highly publicized self-driving car, for example, needed a real person to take over 341 times over the 1.3 million miles it's covered since 2014.

"There’s not going to be some magical moment when we say, here is the autonomous car," Audi USA President Scott Keogh told The New York Times last spring. "We have the technology, and we are going to keep bringing it out, step by step. You need to have customer acceptance and see what consumers are willing to pay for."

For some, the future-is-now feel of a self-driving car is just too novel. Others worry about hacking vulnerabilities for computer-controlled cars, and many say they're buying a car to drive, not just to get somewhere.

Eventually, however, the safety features of Volvo and other companies' self-driving cars may win over skeptics. Although the rate of fatal car crashes has dropped since 1950, to 10.3 per 100,000 people, so-called distracted driving has reached a whole new level in the 21st century with texting and cell-phone calls. Autonomous technologies could make those bad habits less fatal.

But Volvo's created several enticements for buyers considering a more autonomous car. In 2017, Swedish commuters will be able to watch TV or read on screens installed in the Concept 26, which is outfitted with traffic-friendly autopilot. In October, CEO Hakan Samuelsson said Volvo "will accept full liability" for any accidents that happen in autonomous mode. The 2020 death-proof promise could make that irresistible.

Volvo says it will make ‘death-proof’ cars by 2020

Swedish automaker Volvo has long kept track of how many people are seriously injured or killed while driving its vehicles. It uses this data to see how much safer it can make its vehicles in the event of a crash. Now, the company has made a bold promise — by 2020 there will be no serious injuries or fatalities in a Volvo car or SUV.

Cars are getting smarter with the addition of autonomous technologies, and this is how Volvo hopes to reach its goal of zero deaths in its cars. This does not, of course, preclude someone from driving recklessly and getting themselves killed. However, conventional driving should be made much safer with the inclusion of a number of technologies. It starts with making the interior of the car safer with improved airbags and restraints. Then things get more futuristic.

Volvo already has various smart features in its cars, but by combining them all, it becomes much harder to end up in a serious accident. Adaptive cruise control for example, is already available on many cars. It allows you to set a maximum speed, but uses radar to maintain a safe distance from the car in front of you. It can even apply the brakes if need be. This can be taken a step further with full collision avoidance. When a crash is likely, the driver will be warned. If action isn’t taken, the car can begin braking to avoid, or at least minimize the impact.

A relatively new technology that Volvo plans to make extensive use of is lane assistance. Cars will use cameras to detect lanes and alert the driver if they begin to drift. This has been found to dramatically reduce crashes from dozing off at the wheel and distracted driving. Road signs can be identified by cameras as well to help alert drivers to posted speed limits and upcoming hazards.

Cameras will also be used to watch for pedestrians in the vicinity of the vehicle. This is similar to the technology that is used in self-driving cars to identify potential obstacles on the road. The driver can be alerted if a person is in the car’s path and the brake can be automatically applied. In addition to people, cameras can be used to spot large animals in the roadway. For example, moose are common in Volvo’s home territory, and they’ll really mess your car up. Volvo has created a system that can act to avoid colliding with such a critter, saving both you and it.

Automakers like Ford and Tesla are moving quickly toward fully autonomous vehicles. Then there’s Google’s self-driving car program. Volvo too is in the early stages of driverless tech, and handing control over to a computer when it’s clear something is wrong could be a step in that direction. Proving that vehicles can prevent deaths with automated technologies could go a long way toward convincing the public and regulators that self-driving cars are the best option. Volvo thinks these self-driving cars will be the safest of all.
