STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Dec. 15, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --Autoliv, Inc.
(NYSE: ALV and SSE: ALIVsdb), the worldwide leader in automotive
safety systems, participates at 2017 CES®in Las Vegas, starting on January 4, 2017.
CES is a platform for showcasing new innovation, technology, and
various automotive electronics solutions that ultimately lead to
autonomous driving.
"The focus on saving lives has been Autoliv's guiding star since
its inception more than 60 years ago, says Jan Carlson, Chairman, President and CEO of
Autoliv. "Today, we are moving from occupant protection to accident
prevention. Since about 90% of traffic fatalities are due to human
errors, the main path to accident prevention is through active
safety solutions, leading to advanced driver assist systems and
later highly automated vehicles and full autonomous driving."
Understanding real life safety and having a readiness for future
cars is Autoliv's way forward.
Autoliv Real Life Safety Solutions at 2017 CES:
Autoliv Research Vehicle, LIV
A world-first debut at CES, Autoliv's all-new research platform has
been developed to facilitate collaboration and shared control
between the driver and the vehicle. The demonstration version,
equipped with Autoliv technology available today, is connecting the
interior vehicle environment into a central electronic control unit
(ECU), which communicates and interprets data and driver
behavior.
Mono Vison, Stereo Vision, Night Vision
Autoliv's custom algorithms support adoptable and scalable vision
system solutions in the day or at night. With Mono Vision
there is more safety for the driver and vulnerable road users. Even
if the driver is distracted, the car will be there to avoid the
crash. Stereo Vision can detect classified objects
(pedestrians, cars, trucks), lane markings, traffic signs and road
edges. Night Vision sees objects in darkness – through
smoke, fog and in challenging lighting conditions. Based on
Far Infrared technology, our sensors are not impacted by light and
can clearly see beyond blinding headlight and sunlight
glare. Additionally, Animal Detection and Dynamic Spotlight
are part of this revolutionary safety system.
Radar and Sensors
As one of the leading automotive radar system suppliers, with about
seven million sensors delivered in 2016, Autoliv is providing
high-resolution radar systems for the ever-increasing standards of
the global 5-star NCAP car safety programs and supporting highly
automated driving capability. The 77 GHz radar family is being
extended from the corner radars currently in production to forward
looking and highly innovative satellite radars, enabling radar
based object detections all around the car.
Automated Emergency Braking (AEB) system
Utilizes fused radar and camera input to ensure high confidence in
braking; camera-only information can be used to brake for
vulnerable road users.
zForce DRIVE™ Intuitive Steering Wheel and RoadScape GPS
Electronic Horizon
HMI-based innovation designed to
keep the driver in full control, demonstrating the seamless
transition between manual and automated driving. By using
touch technology and air gesture control, zForce can anticipate and
react to human actions to adjust to all road surfaces and weather
conditions.
Accurate and reliable positioning and localization are critical
needs for today's vehicles with advanced driver assistance systems
(ADAS) and active safety, and even more essential for tomorrow's
transportation revolution in autonomous driving
systems. Autoliv announces its 6th generation of GPS –
Horizon software provides context of the environment of the
road such as road signs, curves, hills, and tunnels greatly
improving the performance of line-of-sight sensors used
in advanced driver assistance systems.
