Autoliv Technology Shines a Spotlight on Pedestrians

(Stockholm – January 15, 2013) – Autoliv Inc. – the global leader in automotive
safety systems – is proud to announce that its proprietary Night Vision system
is the driving force behind the newly released BMW “Dynamic Light Spot”
pedestrian illumination system.  Since pedestrians are four times as likely to
be killed or injured by a vehicle in the dark, this active safety feature was
developed by Autoliv and BMW to improve the safety for vulnerable road users.
Dynamic Light Spot brings active safety into the vehicle’s headlights. Many
nighttime traffic collisions share a common cause – a driver’s inability to
recognize pedestrians or animals in the roadway due to poor visibility, many
times leaving the driver with little time to react, often resulting in injuries
or even death.

The Dynamic Light Spot addresses this concern by utilizing sensors and cameras
designed by Autoliv to actively spotlight pedestrians on the side of the
roadway. As a result, motorists will be able to identify potential hazards at a
greater distance, leaving more time to navigate around them.

BMW has been incorporating Autoliv’s Night Vision systems into their high-end
vehicles for several years, now Dynamic Light Spot breaks new ground by also
physically illuminating people near the roadway. In the past, Night Vision
systems provided black and white images of the road ahead on the navigation
screen or head-up display with warnings of a potential hazard as detected. The
BMW Dynamic Light Spot takes night vision to the next level -- by allowing
drivers to see pedestrians without taking their eyes off the road.
