Volvo Cars Introduces World's First 'Interior Radar System' in Electric Flagship SUV 'EX90'

Advanced Technology for the Safety of Children and Pets Left Alone Indoors

[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] Volvo Cars announced on the 29th that it will equip the next-generation pure electric flagship sports utility vehicle (SUV), the EX90, set for its global debut on November 9, with the world's first "interior radar system." The newly unveiled interior radar system is designed to prevent fatal accidents caused by occupants being left inside the vehicle due to driver negligence.

This feature activates the interior radar system every time the driver attempts to lock the car, detecting whether people or pets remain inside. If movement is detected, the vehicle remains unlocked and displays a check alert to the driver via the console screen. Additionally, the interior temperature control system can help reduce the risk of hypothermia or heatstroke.

Rota Jakobsson, Senior Researcher at the Volvo Cars Safety Center, stated, "Everyone gets tired and distracted at times, which can lead to unexpected mistakes. However, the 'interior radar system' will greatly help prevent unfortunate incidents where family members or pets are left inside the car due to such mistakes."

She continued, "Volvo Cars, which has long been a leader in automotive safety, will continue to raise the standards of vehicle safety. Our efforts will not only allow you to enjoy a safer and more peaceful life but also help prevent unforeseen accidents."

Volvo Cars plans to sequentially apply the interior radar system to all models, starting with the next-generation pure electric flagship SUV, the EX90, to be unveiled on November 9, provided that related regulations permit it.
