Håkan Samuelsson, president and chief executive of Volvo Cars, has urged governments and industries to share data concerning traffic safety. Speaking at a conference in Norway, Samuelsson urged the need for sharing data, anonymised to preserve drivers' privacy, "It saves lives, time and taxpayer money. I call on other car makers and governments to work with us on realising this type of data sharing as widely as possible," he said. In 2015, Volvo collaborated with road administration authorities offering anonymised information about road friction from drivers' anti-skid systems, which then warned other drivers of the conditions.
