Volvo and Uber have unveiled their first production car capable of driving independently. The Volvo XC90 SUV base vehicle is equipped with Uber's self-driving technology, meaning it will be ready to hit the streets in the future as part of the Downhill Driving Service. Volvo, creator of the three-point seatbelt, has been more focused on safety than pleasure in recent months. Earlier this year, for example, it announced that all its new cars would have a 180km/h limit from 2020. So it's not surprising that, in addition to the basic SUV, its contributions to the standalone XC90 include a set of features designed to protect drivers and passengers. The car is equipped with various braking and steering systems, as well as a battery backup, which should allow the car to come to a stop safely if one of its main systems breaks in autonomous driving. . “We are convinced that self-driving technology will allow us to further improve safety, the foundation of our company,” said Håkan Samuelsson, Volvo President and CEO. "By the middle of the next decade, we expect a third of all cars sold to be fully autonomous."
