Today, Volvo has taken to Twitter to invite us to "thumb drive" its dynamic, new luxury crossover, the XC60. Best of all, it takes less time than it takes a stoplight to change. Aimed at showing off the XC60's capabilities in both highway and city driving, these mini animations take on high-traffic urban environments like New York, Miami, and of course, San Francisco.

The XC60 is specifically suited to places like San Francisco, as it comes equipped with many safety and convenience features that help drivers to focus on the road while the vehicle manages any distractions or obstacles. On the highway, the XC60 leverages adaptive cruise control to allow the vehicle manage its speed and maintain a safe distance from cars in front of it, while radar sensors monitor the blind spots on either side of the car. At street level, the XC60 includes an impressive suite of features to manage low-speed hazards, such as automatic braking and collision warning, as well as an innovative sensor that detects pedestrians and cyclists entering the lane of traffic.

These features and many others culminate into a comprehensive safety net for drivers of the XC60, ensuring that all you have to focus on from the driver's seat is just driving. So if you're interested in getting behind the wheel of one of these innovative, well-equipped vehicles, stop by Volvo of Burlingame to test drive the new XC60 today!
