Volvo will be testing self-driving cars in public next year

Volvo will be testing self-driving cars in public next year

It’s well known by now that Volvo lead the industry in car safety and how the car reacts when it crashes into something, but also the company has been developing self driving cars for a while now but Volvo has never tested the tech on the public and on roads used by everyone, only with engineers behind the wheel. Next year, Volvo will be letting the cars loose on the open roads to see how regular people take to the new technology. Volvo has a project called “Drive Me” – essentially letting real people use the technology and how it works in certain use cases, such as commuting, shopping or the school run.

Volvo will be primary using the new XC90 (pictured) as the testing cars.
