Volvo will drive unmanned cars in Sweden in 2017 years

Beijing Time December 3, according to CNET website, Volvo announced in Monday that the company has launched a "Drive Me" unmanned vehicle project, and plans to launch in 2017 in Sweden 100 unmanned vehicles. The Volvo "Drive Me" project will be piloted 50 kilometers outside the bustling road in Gothenburg, Sweden. Eric Kollinger, technical director of the company, Erik Coelingh, said: "The goal of Volvo's unmanned vehicles is to automatically handle all possible traffic conditions, including when drivers lose control of their vehicles, to find safe docking points through traffic analysis." Our principle is that driverless cars must travel safely around vehicles and pedestrians. "Volvo will integrate parts and software from other companies into its own car system, creating its own driving, braking and control system algorithms," he said. Kollinger said Volvo car users could use radar and camera technology to monitor road conditions around cars and use map navigation functions. Volvo driverless cars will get the latest map data from the company's cloud services. Kollinger said Volvo's "Drive Me" project aims to be a leader in the field of driverless cars. "Drive Me" defines an unmanned vehicle as a car that can handle all the driving and can dock without the help of a driver. Volvo XC90, the first driverless car to be launched, is expected to be unveiled in 2014. Over the past few years, Google has been concentrating on unmanned vehicle technology. There have been rumours that Google is looking for a partner for carmakers. Meanwhile, other carmakers have joined the war, including Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Cadillac, Ford, Nissan, Delphi, Toyota and Tesla. Volvo "Drive Me" unmanned pilot project will start in 2014. In the pilot phase of the project, Volvo will simultaneously carry out technology development and consumer feedback research, which will focus on the infrastructure needed for unmanned vehicles, and consumers are in a position to improve their economic and social interests while improving traffic conditions.
