In a video released by The Drive on Monday (12/20/2021), a container truck can be seen speeding towards a stationary vehicle (stopped) on the road and looks like it will hit hard. The truck didn’t seem to slow down until the last second, and using the ABS braking system and the quick reaction of the electronics, the truck came to a stop just a few meters from the car in front of it.
The truck’s nose could be seen dipping, but the tires barely squealed when the truck stopped within a foot or 0.3 meters of the vehicle in front. The view from inside the cabin is even better. With no response from the driver, the brakes were applied to their full potential, forcing the truck to a halt a completely unreasonable distance.

Indeed, recent videos show that Volvo’s collision warning and braking systems have been significantly improved in recent years. Volvo’s safety system is clearly capable of saving drivers out of some of the bad situations encountered on the road.

This is a safety feature not a convenience, so drivers still need to understand the use of this collision warning system. This system consists of a radar and camera mounted in front of the truck to detect the vehicle in front of the truck and calculate its speed precisely.

In dangerous conditions, a vehicle or object that is stationary or moving slowly in front of it, this system warns the driver in the form of a red line in front of the glass. If the driver does not respond to perform any action or maneuver, this system works automatically to stop the truck through sudden braking.
Currently, Volvo applies this system to a number of large vehicles such as trucks. In the future a collision warning system will be developed on a number of smaller vehicles, even motorcycles. The purpose of this system is to prevent fatal accidents, especially large vehicles from behind.
