Leading insights in Automated Driving and Driver Behavior to complement Autoliv’s Advisory board

(Stockholm, Sweden, Dec 8, 2015) – – – Autoliv, Inc. (NYSE: ALV and SSE:
ALIVsdb), the worldwide leader in automotive safety systems, strengthens its
capabilities with yet another effort towards developing leading knowledge within
Driver Behavior, Autonomous Driving and Real Life Safety. The new Advisory board
presented today welcomes PhD Chris Urmson – Director of Google’s Autonomous
Driving project, as well as PhD Natasha Merat – group leader in Safety and
Technology at University of Leeds.
Autoliv has a long-standing tradition of leveraging external competences and of
forming close ties with distinguished persons in order to add to the company’s
development. For instance, the idea that morphed into the ground-breaking
innovations of side airbags and inflatable curtains was a direct result of an
idea sprung from a meeting of Autoliv’s very first Advisory board, back in 1984.

Today, Autoliv’s Research Advisory Board consists of seven people, with
backgrounds ranging from technical development to research and with deep
knowledge within e.g. Biomechanics. With Chris Urmson and Natasha Merat onboard,
Autoliv gives an indication of their own view of the direction of a company
leading within automotive safety systems:

“It is no secret that the developments within autonomous driving are going to
change traffic behaviors and entail completely new challenges. I am very glad
that we have managed to close ties with two great people within automated
driving and driver behavior”, says Jan Carlson, Autoliv’s Chairman, President
and CEO.

The Research Advisory Board formally meets once per year, however the greatest
value lies in members exchanging ideas, theories and insights from their
respective fields on an ongoing basis. A fruitful labor, which results in
academic progress as well as in new products and strategies for the automotive
safety market.

As of today, the Research Advisory Board consists of:

-       New! Natasha Merat – PhD in Psychology, Associate Professor and Group
leader in Safety and Technology at University of Leeds. Key interest in Human
factors of highly automated driving and Driver behavior, especially driver
distraction and the influence of new technologies in driving.

-       New! Chris Urmson – PhD in Robotics, Former faculty member at Carnegie
Mellon University and Director of Google’s self-driving car project.

-       Jeff Crandall – PhD in Mechanical Engineering (1994), Associate

Virginia. Key interest in biomechanics, computational mechanics and vehicle
crashworthiness.
