Volvo Car Corp. is making its second-generation Pilot Assist “semi-autonomous” technology standard on the all-new S90 flagship sedan in the U.S. this year. The vehicle will be the first in the market to include such a system as a standard feature, the carmaker claims.
The new Pilot Assist system can accelerate, brake and steer a vehicle without driver inputs at speeds as high as 80 mph on roads with clear lane markings. The first-generation system, launched last year as an option on the XC90 crossover vehicle, could manage the same functions at speeds as high as 30 mph. The new system also no longer needs as lead vehicle to follow.
Volvo, which plans to launch a fully autonomous vehicle by 2020, also announced an agreement this week with Swedish telecommunications giant Ericsson to develop high-bandwidth streaming video capability for vehicles. This will enable drivers to enjoy consistent, uninterrupted infotainment content while a vehicle is operated autonomously, according to the partners.
