Volvo Cars has introduced ‘Safety Coach’, an optional driving assistant application developed in partnership with Cambridge Mobile Telematics. The app monitors driving habits—including braking, acceleration, cornering, and speed limit compliance—to generate a personal safety score. This data may allow drivers to receive lower insurance premiums, such as exclusive offers from the firm Volvia.

The service is launching in Sweden and Norway for models produced from 2020 onwards that utilize Google-based Android multimedia systems. Volvo intends to expand the rollout to the United Kingdom, the United States, and other European markets. While the technology aims to encourage safer driving, its implementation has prompted discussions regarding driver privacy and surveillance.
