Volvo updated the EX60, EX90 and ES90 to share cloud-linked Large Animal, Vulnerable Road User, Roadwork and Accident Ahead alerts.

Volvo emphasizes minimizing false positives to keep driver trust.
Three of Volvo's newest electric models can now warn each other about danger that one car spots first. A recent software update lets the EX60, EX90 and ES90 share cloud-linked alerts for animals, cyclists, roadworks and crashes, instead of relying only on the driver who sees the hazard.
The feature extends Volvo's Connected Safety system, which already uses the cloud to send Slippery Road Alert and Hazard Light Alert between most current Volvos in Europe, the US and Canada, with the EX30 the main exception. Those earlier functions trigger when another Volvo detects low grip or switches on its hazard lights. The new software adds more hazard types to the latest EX models so connected EX60s, EX90s and ES90s on the same road can warn each other.
