The department Active Safety & Vehicle Dynamic Functions delivers world leading active safety and vehicle dynamics functions and has a clear ambition to extend that position in the future. We have several "world first" functions in production today within the area of Collision Avoidance and Driver Support and our next step is to take the lead in the new exciting area of Automomous Driving. The department consists of about 85 persons organized into four groups. The group Vehicle Dynamics & Motion Control is responsible for the development of functions and software within the area of vehicle dynamics and motion control.
