For nearly a century, Volvo Cars has been a symbol of automotive safety, committed to protecting our world and the people in it. Now, we're paving the way toward a future where collisions belong to the past. And it's not just about technology; it's about our devotion to safety and our promise to make the world a safer place.

At the department of Computing Infrastructure System we are building a high-performance computer-in-the-car architecture designed to host software-driven functions and features in our next generation pure electric and self-driving vehicles. Volvo Cars next generation cars will have centralized computing with a core system that serve as a platform for our stakeholders and partners to deploy applications on, instead of multiple electronic control units around the car to control individual features and systems. Our multi-node architecture includes high-performance and high-integrity systems on a chip (SoC), providing a safe and secure framework for current and future vehicles.
