Actually, this one is one of two Volvo systems available.
The one that kicked in is called City Safety and is standard on all new vehicles.
It's based on an infrared LIDAR and manages to prevent crashes up to 15kph (or reduce the crash speed by 15kph)

The other one is called "Pedestrian Detection with Collision Warning and Full Auto brake".
It's based on a normal RADAR coupled with a camera and is able to detect cars and pedestrian. The one on mine should avoid a collision up to 30kph but the newer ones (2014+) avoids a collision up to 50kph.

I'm actually pretty curious to see how the tech in the BMW fares in comparison to the one in the Volvo...
