With the advent of autonomous driving technology, we see new opportunities to further advance traffic safety by taking human mistakes out of the equation. And we believe that it is autonomous drive technology that will further take society towards a future without accidents and traffic fatalities, in line with our safety vision.
Autonomous cars are not yet in the public domain. But in the next few years, we will see them on our roads and an autonomous Volvo car will be as safe as Volvo customers expect. And further into the future, autonomy offers huge promise to revolutionise the way we travel. As we demonstrated in our 360c autonomous concept, it could radically change how we use our cars, where we work and where we live.”

As focus is more distinctly directed towards the strength of a company’s brands, many companies have also discovered how intangible assets generate opportunities for improved returns and winning new market shares. This insight and trend has been reinforced by the recession of recent years. A changed playing field at both the national and global level makes it more important than ever to take advantage of the opportunities that intellectual property rights provide.”
