Volvo presented its new electric flagship EX90 at the end of last year, but due to various reasons, the launch of the car on the market was initially postponed and now it has been done again – the car could start arriving at customers only in the middle of 2024. This was announced by Volvo CEO Jim Rowan, citing the complexity of the software as the reason.
When announcing this car, Volvo said it would be the safest Volvo ever made. The car is equipped with LIDAR sensors, which is a novelty in Volvo cars. “We write a large part of the software ourselves, so we want to make sure that when LIDAR radars are included in our security systems for the first time, everything works as it should,” in an interview Automotive News said Rowan. Volvo engineers now have more time to fix everything and get the car working as it should.
LIDAR sensors are part of wider safety equipment that includes cameras and various radars and are located where the windshield meets the roof. In the title picture of the article, a small protrusion can be seen on the roof approximately in the middle of the car – that’s where the LIDAR sensors are located. Volvo describes the kit as a safety shield around the car to reduce the risk of accidents, but if one does occur, to reduce the risk of serious injury to the occupants. EX90 production was initially planned to start at the end of the year, but we can have no doubt that it will happen no earlier than 2024.
