Volvo is making sure you don’t get bored while your car drives itself

Entertaining your passengers is one thing, but YOU don’t need to find a way to pass the time while you’re driving because most of your attention is (or should be) on the road. With self-driving vehicles, however, even the person in the driver’s seat is a passenger, which means for some of those longer trips, it’d be nice to have some way to entertain yourself, and that’s where Volvo thinks it can be of assistance. One of the most-notable features of the Concept 26 concept car it unveiled last night is a dashboard that flips into a large display, which will allow you to do things like watch Netflix. The company has even joined forces with fellow Swedish company Ericsson to develop better streaming technologies that will be designed specifically for self-driving vehicles.
