wtf? Volvo...you morons

[imported_Mike]

Why does Volvo waste their money on ads trying to sell a heartbeat sensor in the new S80? That makes absolutely no sense. No one needs a heartbeat sensor in their car.

EDIT: For those of you who havn't seen the commercial yet who think I am putting some sort of "anti-rape" spin on this, go check out the commercial.

1) Go to Volvocars.com and click on the S80 on the home page.
2) Click the "Learn More" to activate the pop-up.
3) At the bottom, click on "PCC". It will do a little 5 second flash and then come up with a text bar on the right.
4) At the bottom, click "Watch the PCC Commercial".
5) Profit!

is it used to tell if you start to fall asleep and then it will play a ding or warning through the speakers?

 

[NFS4]

I love the commercial with the dumb broad trying to pick up her fallen papers on the front seat and almost plows into a stopped car before the "alert system" sets her dumbass straight

 

[Rogodin2]

It's like 'who the hell needs those straps on the seats'.

In the commercial a woman is walking to her car, which is alone in a parking structure late at night. Her keyless entry dongle start alerting her that the uber s80 has detected a heartbeat inside the car. She turns and walks away at that point.

It plays on the fears of a woman alone afraid of getting raped/attacked by some random fool.

Yay for fear mongering.

heeh-close enough to save a life poopsnake.

I get that, but Id love to me in the design meeting when they came up with it.

"Women tend to be afraid walking to their cars at night after work...how can we captialize on this people?"
..Some half asleep guy in the corner.. "Heartbeat sensor?"
"Brilliant!"

No broken glass, security alarm has not been triggered....but there is a murderer inside the car waiting... :roll:

I can't see how that is the case. Please explain.

 

[Rogodin2]

Do you know why there are grooved solids on the paralax of state freeways?

huh? Lets not beat around the bush. If you know how the heartbeat sensor would save a life by itself, please tell me becuase I do not know. If not, then troll elsewhere.

 

[Mrfrog840]

fear mongerer!

 

[Matt2]

Pretty stupid if you ask me.

Is there a built in crash cart too?

It can save a life by alerting the driver. Even if it's a false positive it will save a life.

Maybe my problem is that I can't see how someone could be in the car without one of the following conditions being true;

1. They have a key
2. There is broken glass which would set off the security system
3. Entry to the car was by using tools to unlock the car which would set off the security system

Am I missing another method of entry to the car where the heartbeat sensor would be helpful?

Does it also have a button to remove all oxygen in the car? Now that'd be cool.

That is my whole thing with it.

It lets you know if you are dead or not.

 

[Rogodin2]

I guess I don't understand what this does.

It may have multiple purposes, but Volve markets it as a weapon against an intruder that is inside your car already as you approach it.
