When the Volvo EX60 arrives next year, it will debut a “major improvement” to one of motoring’s oldest and simplest safety measures. Once again, the Swedish carmaker has sought to improve the humble seat belt, and this time, it’s got sensors.
Lots of sensors, each one feeding back real-time traffic and situational data into the EX60’s brain so that it can better distribute the load of the belt – adapting it to an individual – in the unfortunate event of an accident.
