Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Volvo is offering a hi-tech solution to help avoid the risk of accidents caused by blind spots with its new safety system BLIS (Blind spot information system). It uses an intelligent digital camera system incorporated in both door mirrors; it monitors the area alongside the car for cars or motorbikes, then alerts the driver via an orange light situated in the pillar by the door mirror. BLIS also works after dark, when it will react to headlamps. BLIS is available as an option on the XC90 and is expected to be introduced to the rest of the Volvo range next year.
