With an eye on a future with self-driving vehicles, Swedish airbag maker Autoliv Inc. wants to expand in technology aimed at avoiding collisions rather than just trying to limit their devastating effects.
The world’s biggest maker of car-safety parts is seeking acquisitions and joint ventures in systems such as Lidar, a technology that uses lasers to detect objects, Chief Executive Officer Jan Carlson said in an interview last week in Stockholm. Autoliv has “discussions ongoing” with some companies, the CEO said.
