Volvo is working on an autonomous driving pilot that will make its way to streets of Gothenburg by 2017. During the trials, the car will travel around 30 miles on Gothenburg roads, called as "typical commuter arteries."

For this, the Swedish carmaker is working along with the Swedish Transport Administration, The Swedish Transport Agency, Lindholmen Science Park and the City of Gothenburg and will be introducing 100 driverless vehicles as part of the world’s first large-scale autonomous driving pilot that will work towards the development of future mobility.

The autonomous driving pilot known as “Drive Me-Self-driving cars for sustainable mobility” will drive on every road condition like to navigate traffic, dodge pedestrians and can even self park.

Not only this, to keep the safety of the occupants and others outside the vehicle, the Swedish carmaker will offer the autonomous driving with a range of technologies such as autonomous emergency braking that slows down the vehicle or even stop during the emergency, lane keeping assist and adaptive cruise control.

However, there is no confirmation from the carmaker as to which models will be used to test the new technology, but it is likely that the new Volvo XC 90 SUV will be used for trials that will hit the roads next year.
