Volvo SCC

The Volvo Safety Concept Car, usually shortened to SCC, was a concept car that Volvo showed at the 2001 Detroit Auto Show and later at Seville airport in Spain that autumn. It was built to try out a range of safety ideas, among them forward collision warning, blind spot monitoring, lane departure warning, cruise control that keeps a set distance behind the car ahead, headlights that follow the curve of the road, see-through A-pillars, a height adjustable rear seat and an experimental criss-cross seatbelt that the article says no other car has used. The rear hatch borrows from the P1800ES and the glass hatch from the 480ES, and the car has conventional front doors with small sliding rear doors. Design elements from it reappeared in the Volvo C30, which entered production at the end of 2006.
