A new pilot project being launched is set
to introduce us to self-driving cars.
Yes, you heard correctly, cars that allow
you to sit back as the vehicle takes control.
Volvo's autonomous driving is said to improve
fuel economy, the effects cars have on the
environment and road safety.
The car manufacturer's ambition is to ensure
nobody is killed or even seriously injured
in its cars, and the plan is to produce cars
that can achieve that by 2020.
And with its project being able to brag auto
braking, a lane keeping aid and adaptive cruise
control it sounds like they could be on their
way to achieving this.
And for those that get into a sweat squeezing
your car into tricky spaces from time to time,
the cars even come with automated parking.
The project has been endorsed by the Swedish Government,
and will be the first country to use the driving pilot.
