The new 360 view feature is paramount to Volvo's latest claims to eliminate fatal crashes or serious injury in a Volvo model by 2020. This safety feature locates collision free escape routes with next generation sensor fusion technologies that provide a seamless 360 degree view around a car. This amazing achievement is something our Chicago Volvo dealer is extremely proud of as the brand continues to make safety a primary focus.
Volvo has achieved something that has never been done before by installing discrete sensors all around the car to create this 360 degree view to protect the vehicle. Striving for excellence in safety is what makes Volvo so special, as this invention will continue to raise the standard for safety in new vehicles across all brands, and make the roads a much safer place for all of us.

One of the project’s challenges was to build one cohesive detection system out of a number of discrete sensors installed around the car, something that has never before been accomplished.
This required the development of a centralised Sensor Fusion framework to enable the various technologies – cameras, radar, lidar, GPS, etc.— to share information efficiently.
Through this framework, the system is able to provide a complete 360° view of the environment and perceive any potentially threatening objects that drivers would otherwise not be able to see.
By focusing on viable automotive sensors, the project has taken a big step in making this new technology a reality in the near future.
