Volvo unveils cyclist alert-and-brake car system
Volvo has announced it is releasing a cyclist detection facility which should prevent fatal accidents.
The auto firm says vehicles fitted with the system will be able to detect threats including a cyclist suddenly swerving out into a car's path.
It said that if a collision risk was detected an alarm would sound and the car's brakes would be fully deployed.
However, safety campaigners say the tech is no replacement for caution behind the wheel.
The Chinese-owned company introduced the feature at the Geneva Motor Show.
Motorists wanting the feature face an added bill of at least £1,850 to buy it as a part of a package of added features.
