Volvo announces run public tests for its first self-driving vehicle

Autonomous vehicles are expected to start hitting the road within the next decade or so and automakers are racing to be among the first to release their own self-driving cars. One such company is Volvo which announced last week that it will begin public testing of its own autonomous vehicle with 100 real drivers. The testing will take place in the Swedish company’s hometown of Gothenburg sometime in 2017.
