Volvo announces new car with ‘lightning fast’ feature with ‘state-of-the-art’ safety functions and sensors

VOLVO has announced its next EV that boasts a host of mightily impressive new features.

The Swedish car giant recently unveiled the upcoming ES90 – a midsized luxury sedan – that’s said to be the “most powerful car Volvo ever created in terms of core computing capacity”.

Packed with a dual Nvidia Drive AGX Orin configuration, the sleek set of wheels will underpin all of Volvo‘s next-gen vehicles, according to The Verge.

Set to be Volvo’s first vehicle to come with Nvidia’s system-on-a-chip, it will be capable of performing tasks at lightning-fast speeds.

In fact, the car’s bold new tech will be capable of managing 508 trillion operations per second, meaning it can handle functions such as its AI-based state-of-the-art active safety features, car sensors, and efficient battery management.

The ES90 will be built on Volvo’s SPA2 architecture, as well as being their second vehicle, after the EX90, to be based on its Superset tech stack.

Superset is an engineering platform that the company says will increase its cars’ safety and efficiency.

What’s more, it will keep on improving, thanks to its over-the-air software updates—a function that first appeared in Elon Musk’s Tesla.

That saw the concept of an upgradeable vehicle become the next must-have feature among manufacturers, with the rest of the industry forced to catch up.

For Volvo, that was meant to be the EX90—but software troubles delayed its initial efforts, and worse still, when it was eventually released, it lacked many of its promised features.

Volvo says it envisions a future in which features such as driver-assist tech and battery range are able to be improved over time, with improvements to the EX90 translatable to the ES90, and vice versa.

Anders Bell, Volvo’s chief engineering and technology officer, said: “The Volvo ES90 is one of the most technically advanced cars on the market today and is designed to be improved further with time.

“Built on our state-of-the-art Superset tech stack, the ES90 puts safety at the forefront.”

Music-loving drivers might be especially keen on the newly released EX90, thanks to its incredible sound system.

Designed in collaboration with one of the world’s most famous recording studios, the stunning new Volvo EX90 gives drivers a unique music-listening experience.

As hinted at already, the plush new SUV will be the epitome of sophistication, packed full of smart tech that provides comfort, safety, and entertainment.

One of the highlights of the vehicle’s cabin is the 32 individual Bowers and Wilkins speakers and its “Abbey Road Studios Mode”.

Built in conjunction with Abbey Road Studios engineers, this plush sound system aims to replicate the famous recording studio’s unique signature sound within the cabin.

It’s even inspired by the actual recording equipment built in-house in the late 1960s – perhaps best associated with The Beatles’ time at Abbey Road where they created some of their most well-known songs.

Drivers that activate the EX90’s Abbey Road Studios Mode will enjoy an interactive UI displayed on its 14.2-inch center display, which visualizes the setup of a typical recording studio.

This includes a drum kit, piano, microphone, stereo speakers, and the control room.

There’s the option to tune the setup to your liking, simply by moving around the “studio” with a flick of a finger to search through the options.
