Volvo<\/a> recently announced its latest safety technology, which debuted at the Geneva Motor Show, will be an available option on the new S60, V60 and XC60. The Swedish auto manufacturer has developed a system that allows car headlights to continuously use high beams without blinding other motorists.<\/p>\n

The Active High Beam Control relies on the camera that Volvos use for brake assist and other safety needs to adjust the light output. This way, the lights can still illuminate the road, and the beams that would otherwise get in the eyes of oncoming drivers are shaded. Traditionally, drivers have had to manually shut off their high beams when they see another car approaching, which can not only be distracting, but a delayed reaction time still has the potential to threaten the safety of another driver on the road. This new safety feature eliminates that risk, ensuring everyone can drive in safe conditions at night.<\/p>\n

"The technology makes driving at night more comfortable and safe. It also makes it easier to focus on the driving and is an excellent example of our Designed Around You approach, always focusing on features that really make a difference to the customer," said Professor Lotta Jakobsson, senior technical specialist at Volvo Cars Safety Centre.<\/p>\n

While this technology may only be available for newer Volvo models, there are plenty of other safety features, such as lane departure warnings, that can be found on used cars. Drivers who live in the New York\/New Jersey area can head to NJ State Auto Auction<\/a> to check out the wide selection of makes and models to find a ride with all the modern conveniences they could want. Plus, every vehicle on the lot is CARFAX certified, giving car shopped additional assurance that they'll be getting a reliable car, truck or SUV.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
