Volvo is looking to boost its reputation for safety with the release of a new “multi-adaptive safety belt” that uses real-time data from the vehicle’s sensors to better protect the person wearing it.

Volvo has introduced a new seatbelt technology that can customize the protection it provides in real time. The "multi-adaptive safety belt" system, as the automaker is calling it, uses data input from both interior and exterior sensors to change protection settings based on various factors.

Turns out, seatbelt tech is a thing, and Volvo is leading the charge. Its 'multi-adaptive' belt uses sensor data to adjust force based on body type, height, weight, and real-time traffic conditions.
