I’m not saying we are going to stay out of that forever Volvo is set to introduce a fully autonomous version of its XC90 model as part of trials in the US with Uber. The car will be able to drive itself on public roads and highways, but it won’t have any steering wheel or pedals. While Volvo faces increasing competition from the bigger budgets of rival car giants, the new venture with Uber has been described by Dr Peter Mertens, the company's chief of research and development, as groundbreaking and "unchartered territory".
