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
• Safety
• Fuel economy
• Traffic flow
• Improved mobility
• New mobility solutions
• Infrastructure
• Comfort
• Urban planning
AD Opportunities
4
Why AD? –
Customer Perspective
• What is it that modern people
are lacking?
• Time
• Constant connectivity
What if we can create a car that
offers time, connectivity and a
safe ride?

Autonomous Driving Functionality
Driver out of the loop
A self-driving vehicle must be able to handle all situations (and prove
that it can!)
No fall back responsibility for the driver SAE Levels 4 and 5
Highly/ Fully autonomous vehicles
Volvo Autonomous Technology
• Cameras
• Radars
• Lasers

ConnectivityConnected safety applications
• Road friction detection• Car measures road friction and sends to
other cars through the cloud
• Traffic flow information
• Animals/ Pedestrians/ Bicyclists

Connected Autonomous Driving
• Optimized traffic flow: • Optimized weaving
• Speed and distance between vehicles.
Reduced need for infrastructure investments.
• New mobility models:
• Cars on demand
• ’Peer to Peer’ sharing
• Ride sharing
• Autonomous parking:
• Cars range themselves away from city centres
• Merge between individual mobility and public transportation
• Highly and Fully Autonomous vehicles (levels 4 and 5) will bring many opportunities to the society and to its citizens and will enhance sustainablemobility:
• AD levels 4 and 5 will safely enable the driver to do other things while the car is in control.
• Connectivity essential for the safe performance of highly and fully autonomous vehicles.
• Connectivity may be used for sharing importantsafety data and optimizing traffic
• Cloud connectivity for tactical and strategicdecisionmaking.
• Only minor infrastructure changes are needed for this development.
