Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract]
Equity Method Investment	Equity Method Investment Zenuity On April 2, 2020, the Company entered into a non-binding agreement with VCC to separate Zenuity, a 50% ownership joint venture with VCC in order for each company to more effectively drive their respective strategies. The parties entered into definitive agreements and effected the separation on July 1, 2020. On July 1, 2020, the Company finalized the split of Zenuity. As part of the transaction the Company paid approximately $37 million to Zenuity for 200 software engineers and two business units located in Germany and the US. Veoneer acquired the right to use Zenuity's intellectual property for a total consideration of SEK 1,067 million (approximately $114 million) payable in ten annual installment payments, with the first payment due on July 1, 2021. As the transaction resulted in all of the business of Zenuity being transferred to one of its two owners, the Company determined that the remaining value of that equity investment was equal only to the expected future dividends to be received. This resulted in an impairment charge of approximately $24 million which was recorded within Gain on divestiture and assets impairment charges, net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the period ended December 31, 2020. As the transaction was between the investor and investee, the Company did not recognize any gain from the transaction.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company received dividend of SEK 327 million (approximately $35 million) in cash (representing 50% of the total dividend, with the remainder received by VCC) from Zenuity.
