Imagine a world with deadly quiet, noiseless, driverless vehicles…

Cars create noise, and as irritating as this may be, it has its purpose. Without sound, we may not be aware of oncoming vehicles, and thus our lives can be endangered.

Watch this video and listen to Mikael Ljung Aust, senior technical leader for collision avoidance functions at the Volvo Cars Safety Centre, explain some of the challenges and solutions.
