Volvo has advanced its auto-break function, available in certain 2009-10 models to include sensors that will trigger an automatic stop for pedestrians. Referred to as the “City Safe” system, laser technology stops the car at speeds of up to 22 MPH. Like any technology, however, there is room for error; sometimes the car does not sense the obstacle, human or inanimate, plowing into it. While the technology is useful, it also may encourage lackadaisical driving (or even texting-while-driving), because the driver might think paying attention isn’t as important, especially in slow, stop and go “city traffic.”
When the technology fails, any number of obstacles can break the car’s windshield. Bicyclists, pedestrians and stationary objects will not always illicit an auto-break, and might damage auto glass. Whatever the cause, auto glass should be repaired as soon as possible. TeleGlass will fix your old or damaged auto glass anytime, anywhere.
