The Volvo Safety Concept Car (SCC), shown here at the 2001 Chicago Auto Show, featured innovative passive safety ideas. The driver could see through the A-posts, which used see-through Plexiglass in a steel box construction, and the B-posts curved inwards at the top for unobstructed field of vision to the offset rear. Embedded in the door mirrors and rear bumper were sensors that alerted the driver of approaching traffic in the “blind spot” to the offset rear.
