GOTHENBURG, Sweden — Over the past decade or so, it seems that most advances in automotive safety technologies have focused on preventing collisions, with systems such as automatic emergency braking and lane-keep assist available on nearly any car, truck and SUV you can buy. While advanced driver-assistance and safety systems (ADAS, for short) continue to evolve, Swedish automaker Volvo isn’t forgetting about protecting vehicle occupants when a collision does occur.
