The latest over-the-air update makes the infotainment system even better for Apple CarPlay users, arriving in Volvo cars globally with Google built-in.

The EU ministers, along with the EU Commissioner for Environment, tested a lineup of fully electric cars, trucks and excavators, including the Volvo C40 and XC40.

As part of a new package of product updates, we’ve now improved both the range (WLTP) and charging for the XC40 Recharge and C40 Recharge compared with the outgoing model year, increasing range by as much as 60 kilometres on some variants.

In our upcoming Volvo EX90, lidar, cameras and radars come together to understand your car’s surroundings and help keep you safe. To further improve our assisted driving technologies and eventually reach autonomous driving in the future, we also need a way to recognise your environment at detail, both immediately in front of you and at longer distances beyond the twists and turns ahead.

If you’ve ever asked a phone or computer “What do you want me to do?” with a tinge of despair in your voice, you know how confusing it can be when communication with a piece of technology breaks down. Imagine what could happen if such a breakdown happens in a car as you transition between manual, assisted and autonomous driving modes. It’s safe to say that these are situations where uncertainty should be avoided, no matter what.

Many of us try to care for the environment by recycling the materials we can, cooking in a way that leads to less food waste or driving an electric car. When it comes to making your energy usage more sustainable, however, it can be hard to know how to increase the share of renewable sources in the electricity that you use.

Imagine the soft, barely discernible breathing movements of a sleeping child. A new interior radar feature developed by our engineers is designed to be accurate and sensitive enough to detect the tiniest movements at sub-millimetre scale – such as those of a sleeping toddler. It’s the first such feature to cover the entire interior of the car, including the trunk.

Volvo Cars will introduce its unsupervised autonomous driving feature Ride Pilot to customers in the state of California first.

Volvo Cars is expanding its collaboration with NVIDIA to use NVIDIA DRIVE Orin system-on-a-chip (SoC) technology to power the autonomous driving computer in next generation Volvo models.

Volvo Cars, a global leader in automotive safety, is setting new safety and technology standards by partnering with tech firm Luminar to provide their industry-leading LiDAR and perception technology for Volvo’s next generation cars.
