The automakers are still working on developing self driving cars. The autonomous technology cars must be made for safety and convenience. Volvo continuing this research and currently made the new technology called TRAFFIC JAM ASSISTANCE system. This technology used to auto parking, braking or staying in an intended lane.
Volvo said, American drivers spend more than hundred hours per year in travelling, so it innovated this new technology to reduce the stress. This technology controls the car’s brakes, accelerator and steering, it automatically detects the obstacles rather than just being able to keep speed.
Volvo plans to embed this technology into upcoming production vehicles by 2014 as a part of Scalable Production Architecture(SPA) project. The Traffic Jam Assistance system will use the radars and cameras, just like current City Safety and Pedestrian Detection system.
