It was always about freedom
Global Trends
• Urbanisation
• Growing mega cities
• Air quality major health problem
• Traffic accident global health issue
• Time for commuting
• Desire for time efficiency
• Desire for constant connectivity
Today’s reality
And it’s still about freedom
SHAPING THE FUTURE MOBILITY
• AD will be important for a sustainable mobility
• Improved traffic safety
• Improved environmental outcomes
• Regain time
Volvo vision 2020
No one should be killed or seriously injured
in a new Volvo car by 2020
How do we make AD come true?
By joint effort and proper reseach
• Global challenges – Demand a joint effort
• Drive Me – Nordic model of collaboration
• Research platform – How autonomous cars can contribute to a sustainable
development
• Pilots with real customers in real traffic
The pilots – all about learning
• Traffic environments
• Customer preferences
• Exporting the Nordic model
of collaboration
• Gothenburg – proof of concept
• China and London – verify our technology

Pilot in Gothenburg
• The world’s first large scale project
for self-driving cars
• Starting in 2017
• 100 customers on real roads (~50 km)
• Verifying our technology
• From supervised to unsupervised
Who can be a test pilot?
• Based on the research needs
• Should reflect our future customers

No shortcuts. AD is at core about safety.
Scientific and human approach
Pilots with real customers on real roads
Pilot Assist versus Autopilot
• Driver is responsible, should monitor and supervise
• Driver responsible to intervene whenever needed
• Limitations: Lane markings, road design, oncoming objects,
pedestrians, animals, restrictions in steering/braking/acceleration force
that can be applied
• Autopilot / UnSupervised• Pilot assist / Supervised
• Manufacturer responsible
• Tested on and expects extreme situations
• Takes precautions, takes decisions
• Driver free to do something else
We assume liability
• “Volvo will assume liability for its autonomous technology, when used properly.”
