- Volvo's newest generation of active safety systems makes its U.S. debut on the EX90, with stronger driver-monitoring capability.
- While many systems will warn you if you don't look at the road enough, the Volvo will sound an alert if you are looking at the road too much.
- Volvo tells InsideEVs that staring at the road is a sign of cognitive distraction, which can be just as harmful as more obvious forms of distraction.
Modern cars love to beep at you. They beep at you if you stray from your lane. If you signal when there's someone in your blindspot. If you put anything in the back seat. If you forget your phone, or don't grab it quickly enough to satiate the ever-present beeping overlords. They beep if the windows are down, or there's anything behind you. And they beep if you're not looking at the road. Volvo, though, long an innovator in beeping technology, has a new one for you: The new EX90 beeps at you if you look at the road too much.
