The Anti-Crush Motor by Volvo
Accident-prone drivers can have a reprieve - this is one car you can't crush.
Volvo has come up with a crash-proof family car which will go on sale in the autumn.
Its secret is a laser-guidance system to spot vehicles in front that are too close or stopping suddenly. When it does, the Volvo will stop of its own accord to avoid a smash.
A spokesman for the firm says, "It sounds like sci-fi fantasy - cars that can't crash. But the fictional notion is about to become reality."
