Volvo Car Corporation and the Swedish National Road Administration will work together to avoid or lessen the effects of road accidents. The goal is that by 2020, nobody should be injured or killed in a Volvo.
Ensuring a safe traffic environment requires cooperation amongst three main sectors: automakers, drivers, and road & infrastructure authorities.
Cars and roads are becoming increasingly dependent on one another for ensuring that new safety solutions function as well as possible. Volvo already have technology that can read road markings and alert the driver if he is heading across to the wrong lane. The Swedish National Road Administration and Volvo will now work together on a variety of issues, including the search for additional ways in which cars and roads can communicate to reduce the number of risky traffic situations.
