The first fully autonomous, self-driving Volvo car that will be handed over to a member of the public to use on public roads, rolled out of the company's factory on Friday Sep 09,2016.
Volvo's ‘Drive Me' is currently the world's most ambitious autonomous driving project and one that Volvo plans to conduct with real people in real driving situations.
After nearly two years of testing and development work with Volvo engineers in controlled environments on the streets of Gothenburg, Sweden, the cars are now ready to meet their public and for the real testing to begin.
"This is an important milestone for the Drive Me project," said Erik Coelingh, Senior Technical Leader Active Safety at Volvo Cars.
"Customers look at their cars differently than us engineers, so we are looking forward to learn how they use these cars in their daily lives and what feedback they will give us."
