# Volvo Semi Truck New Breaking Technology

This truck is loaded with 40 tons of cargo and stopping at unbelievable measures.  The system uses radar and a camera to detect vehicles in front of the truck and alert the driver of danger with a flashing light and alarm tone. If the driver does not respond to a potential rear-end situation, the system will apply the brakes to avoid a crash. Almost as impressive as the “vehicle arresting system” and the “indestructible pole“.
