Get Up to Speed on Volvo’s World-Leading Autonomous Project at TU-Automotive Europe 2015
(PRWEB) October 02, 2015 -- The Drive Me Project is part of Volvo’s vision that no one will be seriously injured or killed in a new Volvo model by 2020. A major step towards this will be facilitated by self-driving cars which have the potential to improve traffic safety and efficiency, as well as provide drivers with the freedom to spend time different ways. To research the real life impact of self-driving vehicles, Volvo will launch 100 self-driving cars in Gothenburg 2017.
It is clear that the technical challenge of highly automated driving has to be solved to ensure that the technology is sufficiently robust and safe. However, the Drive Me Project is also addressing a whole host of secondary factors that will prove critical to the mass adoption of autonomous vehicles. At TU-Automotive Europe this November (2-3), Mr Hardå will provide the conference with a complete update on how the Project is confronting (1) societal, legal and economic factors, (2) infrastructure requirements, (3) customer expectations.

Project director, Jack Palmer, said “I am very excited to welcome Volvo’s Drive Me team back to a TU-Automotive event. It is clear that Volvo Cars are one of the frontrunners in the race to put a fully functioning driverless car on the road. Mr Hardå’s presentation will combine the technical intricacies of the Project with an analysis of how self-driving cars will impact the world around us”.
