Volvo Will Notify Drivers Of Upcoming Accident Scenes

"Thanks to our collaboration with the Danish Road Directorate and other partners in the Data for Road Safety ecosystem, we can introduce this new feature and continue our leadership in safety innovations," she added.

Your Volvo will warn you of an accident scene ahead by flashing the hazards and displaying a message in the head-up display if one is equipped.

Unfortunately, the system is only available in Denmark for now, but Volvo has plans to expand across Europe. With any luck, American customers will soon benefit from this technology. It's a great system, as it makes things safer for the crash victims and any first responders who may be tending to them.

As mentioned, the Accident Ahead Alert is offered on most of the range, including the XC90 Recharge, S60, and C40. Strangely, the new baby in the range, the EX30, is excluded. The system is compatible with vehicles made from 2016 upwards.
