Introduces Camera-based Driver Assist System for BMW

(Stockholm, September 14, 2011) --- In response to the market trend
towards Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), Autoliv Inc. (NYSE:
ALV and SSE: ALIV) - the worldwide leader in automotive safety systems -
has developed a forward-looking Mono Vision Sensing System (MVSS) for
BMW which improves driver awareness and thereby has the capability to
reduce traffic accidents, injuries and even fatalities for automobiles.
This new technology is featured for the first time this week by BMW at
the Frankfurt Auto Show.

Autoliv developed and recently launched this camera-based ADAS for the
BMW where this system provides a unique combination of safety and driver
assistance features. For this specific design, Autoliv is the system
integrator and provides the complete system of hardware including the
camera (which is mounted between the rear-view mirror and the front
windshield) and the electronic control unit (ECU), which includes an
EyeQ2 chip provided by MobilEye.

“We are very pleased to be a system integration partner with BMW once
again” commented Jan Carlson - President and CEO of Autoliv. “Our proven
track record in bringing to market new technologies, such as
Infrared-based Night Vision on the 7-Series in 2005, is a testament to
our company to establish important development relationships in the area
of Active Safety and in particular Advanced Driver Assistance Systems”
added Carlson.

The main focus of this system is safety in respect to Forward Collision
Warning, which alarms a driver to an imminent collision with the
vehicles in front as well as in the case of an unintentional Lane
Departure. Other features available on this system are: Automatic High
Beam Switching, with a smooth high/low beam transition, allowing for an
optimal control of road illumination and increased night time driving
safety. Traffic Sign Recognition, providing the driver with information
about speed sign zones which includes no-pass zones.

“This marks our first launch of camera-based Vision Systems” remarked
Steve Rode, President Autoliv Electronics. “However we have several
other programs currently under development that will launch during 2012
and 2013”, added an enthusiastic Rode.
