Another day, another game-changing update regarding our favorite automaker's City Safety system. The last time we here at Volvo of Burlingame were filling you in on it, the technology was being upgraded to detect oncoming wildlife before becoming road kill. It was a huge step towards realizing their crash-free lineup of new and used cars by the year 2020, and now that it's made its way to the public, our roads will never be the same again.

Not too long ago, our favorite automaker here at Volvo of Burlingame was paving the way for hybrid innovation with the help of the Volvo V60 Plug-in Hybrid. It was all very exciting, but given all the innovation that's been coming standard on our blog as of late, we can't say it was all that surprising either. And just in case you haven't experienced the future today thanks to our new and used cars, have we get some news to get you there.

A few months back, we here at Volvo of Burlingame were telling you all about our favorite automaker's strides in the way of Cyclist Detection technology. Given all the bikers we have at our dealership here in Burlingame, CA, we couldn't help but feel like Volvo was looking out just for us. And given how many cyclist lose their lives in automotive crashes each year, it was a much-needed service they provided.

For while there, it seemed like all that we here at Volvo of Burlingame could talk about was our favorite automaker's commitment to the crash-free future of our new and used car lineup.

And in case you were starting to think we had one-track minds, it now looks like the rest of the world is finally starting to take notice.

If we here at Volvo of Burlingame learned anything from our favorite automaker's strides in the world of kinetic energy, it's that the brass at Volvo aren't afraid to be different. And why should they be? Just think of how far the new and used cars on our lot have evolved over the years and continue to be improved upon from one model to the next.
