The self driving car is closer than you think. Currently, 100 self-driving Volvos are rolling around the Swedish city of Gothenburg in everyday driving conditions.
The ‘Drive Me’ project unique is that it involves all the key players: legislators, transport authorities, a major city, Volvo and real customers. The customers will drive the 100 cars in everyday driving conditions on approximately 50 kilometres of selected roads in and around Gothenburg. These roads are typical commuter arteries, including motorway conditions and frequent congestion.
This test will examine the benefits of making autonomous vehicles a natural part of the traffic environment. The lessons learned here will bring these types of vehicles to market faster.
