We all know the tale about Volvo being the first company to patent the modern three-point seatbelt  but leaving the patent open for other automakers to use. It’s one of the things that has helped cement its stellar reputation for safety. Now, the company is starting to outline the new innovations that it hopes will make driving safer in the years to come.

The company outlined its ambitious safety schemes while teasing the details of its new EX90 electric SUV. The replacement for the outgoing XC90 is set to be revealed in November, but that didn’t stop Volvo from sharing more about the built-in safety tech that will come with the car.

Volvo had two main areas to discuss when it comes to the safety of its cars. On the outside, it is preparing to unveil a barrage of sensors to spot hazards in the road . While inside the car, cameras trained on the driver can spot when you aren’t paying attention to the road ahead.

“The idea behind this is to learn more about the driver and the driver states,” explains Emma Tivesten, senior safety research leader at Volvo.
