This SUV changes Car Safety forever

Volvo's new sister company, Zika, has managed to build a mid-size electric SUV to set new benchmarks in car safety. So let's explore how it can redefine industry standards that can help produce cars with next-level protection. While many cars can get a five-star safety rating after passing some standardized crash tests, in reality, traffic accidents are diverse. But Zika takes car safety to a new level by developing an armored body structure design that protects the passenger compartment in a collision, even with an eight-ton heavy truck at a speed of 31 miles per hour. The heads of passengers were protected by an ultra-strong one-piece steel column. The single piece eliminates potential weak points caused by welding or rivets in traditional structures and ensures consistent strength throughout the entire length. They have also developed the world's first child safety seat equipped with sensors that deploy an airbag when a collision is detected. This innovation will help reduce the risk of neck injuries in particular. No one is fully protected from extreme situations in a car where occupants may become trapped inside, unable to open the doors or windows. But here comes the one-click window breaking function. For example, thanks to which, in a test, it took only 20 seconds from the moment of submersion in water to break the window with one click and escape the car, which was within the golden 30 seconds for a safe rescue. And the great thing is that this technology will be open for the entire auto industry for free. The electric SUV's electromagnetic radiation safety in all scenarios far exceeds the highest industry standards, particularly for sensitive groups such as mothers and babies with enhanced protection in the rear row. After testing, its radiation levels were found to be equivalent to those of a smartwatch. The global sales of the vehicle named Zika 7X will kick off next year, and presumably its upcoming similarly-sized sibling, the Volvo EX60, will also inherit these breakthroughs.
