Volvo ‘Drive Me’ will put 100 self-driving cars on the streets of Gothenburg

Volvo are launching its ‘Drive Me’ program in 2014 with a budget of  $76.2 million with its aim to bring there self -drive car to the streets of Gothenburg in Sweden by 2017.

It will start with 100 self drive cars fitted with a set of cameras, GPS data and motion sensors and have the maximum speed set at 43.5 mph.

At the press conference launch, Erik Coelingh, technical specialist at the Volvo Car Group, explained how the project will focus on showing how easily the car will be able to handle all possible traffic scenarios by judging traffic flow and letting the driver regain control when required.

He also outlined how the program will focus on a number of key issues including Customer confidence in the vehicles and also how surrounding drivers will react to being on the roads with self-driving cars.

The project also takes into account that the cars will be able to park themselves without a driver in the car. So, you can leave your car at the car park entrance and it will find an empty space and park itself.

Nissan are also entering the self drive market but it won’t have its models ready until 2020.
