According to CNN Money, Volvo - as well as other automakers - are planning on using a number of new technologies to try to meet their goal, including adaptive cruise control, in which a car maintains a safe distance on its own; automatic lane keep assist, which makes sure a car stays in its lane; collision avoidance, which wants drivers of obstacles that could cause a crash; and pedestrian and large animal protection.

Additionally, Volvo is putting its cars through some strenuous crash testing, like the side rollover test  ...

... and the full frontal crash test
