Autoliv
Founded in 1953 Autoliv is an industry pioneer in occupant protection with over 70 years of experience. Passive safety technologies are our heritage and the foundation for Autoliv’s strong position in Real Life Vehicle Safety. Our road to saving lives starts with our relentless innovation in vehicle safety technologies in combination with deep insight of traffic situations, human behavior and human-to-machine interaction. We research, develop and engineer solutions with a mindset to better understand real life accidents as well as new risks associated with a world of autonomous driving.
For decades our focus has been on how to ensure occupant safety in passenger cars, but there is more to do: As half of the 1.2 m fatalities in the road transport system are people outside cars, we need the same focus for all forms of mobility. We therefore look at the main safety issues with respect to different forms of mobility ranging from high powered two-wheelers to pedestrians. We do that to find safety solutions for the multimodal mobility of today and tomorrow. And we do this with one goal: Saving More Lives.
