Willis Volvo of Des Moines hosted the “Naughty Volvo Tour” on Wednesday evening, showcasing the new Volvo S60 featuring Pedestrian Detection technology.

The new technology uses a radar- and camera-based system to detect pedestrians in front of the car and then warns the driver before activating full braking power if the driver doesn’t respond in time, according to a company news release.

There were 17 pedestrian deaths in Iowa in 2008, the release said.
