A car that watches out for Bicycles!

Sorry, the link only works sometimes....if it doesn't, just google it!


Well, since locally (and nationally) drivers seem to be continuing to mow down pedestrians (and bikes) this Volvo advancement is a welcome addition.  I still can't help but notice the huge in dash navigation / communication system.  You know it has a map that draws their eyes off the road, a satellite radio with hundreds of channels to manage, and a cell phone application that they mess with while driving!  Heck, the new Ford Fusion actually has a texting application in it's navigation system.

With all this, you know the driver's attention isn't focused on the road at least some of the time.  So I guess since it's completely "unreasonable" to just ask drivers to drive, the cars better start watching for us pedestrians and bikes!

All sarcasm aside, this is an awesome technology advancement.  Hopefully it will be standard in all vehicles in the near future.
