1000 Volvos sing safety from the clouds

STOCKHOLM, Sweden - Volvo Cars in partnership with the Swedish Transport Administration and the Norwegian Public Roads Administration are working together on a project to enable cars to tell each other about conditions that relate to road friction.

Think ice and snow... it's cold that far north.

The information will be shared through a cloud-based network - a revolutionary approach to improving traffic safety. And with the test fleet now expanding from about 50 cars to 1000, the project is moving rapidly towards its goal of making the technology available to customers in the next few years.
