Volvo已經開始讓一般家庭參與自動駕駛車的試駕

瑞典的Hain家就是Drive me的第一批一般測試者

在瑞典哥德堡附近將會有100輛左右的自動駕駛車由一般家庭測試

到了2021年就會正式在市場上推出自動駕駛車型

另外在美國南卡羅來納州的查爾斯頓將會有一間新的Volvo工廠於2018年開始生產汽車


看來有些地區的自動駕駛車合法上路會是最近4-5年以內的事情

台灣15年不曉得有沒有機會

Volvo Cars puts people first in the development of autonomous cars

Volvo Cars, the premium car maker, has revealed its distinctive approach
to developing autonomous cars with the introduction of a family of four
at the Detroit Motor Show.

The Hain family, from Gothenburg in Sweden, are the first people chosen
to take part in a real-life autonomous drive research program using real
cars, in real traffic.

“We do things differently at Volvo Cars – we always have,” said Håkan
Samuelsson, President & CEO, Volvo Car Group. “Our main focus has always
been on people and making their lives easier. Technology should improve
the consumer experience making mobility safer, sustainable and more
convenient.”

Volvo Cars believes that in the rush to deliver fully autonomous cars,
many car makers are forgetting the most important ingredient: the people
that will use them. Volvo’s unique approach is to define the technology
based on the role of the driver – not the other way around.

“The aim of the Drive Me research project is to focus on how to enhance
people's lives and have a positive impact on society. We take a holistic
rather than a purely technical approach to our research and development
processes. No one else to our knowledge is developing autonomous drive
from a human-centric standpoint,” said Henrik Green, Senior Vice
President, Research and Development at Volvo Car Group.

The Drive Me project is a collaborative research program consisting of
several players from public, private and academic fields. It is probably
the most advanced, ambitious and extensive real-life autonomous drive
project in existence. The project will see up to 100 autonomous cars on
the roads around Gothenburg, Sweden, home to Volvo Cars, driven by real
people, in real traffic during 2017. The project is set to expand to
other cities around the world in the near future.

“We want to learn more around how people feel when they engage and
disengage autonomous drive, what the handover should be like, and what
sort of things they would do in the car when it’s driving them to their
destination,” added Henrik Green.

The Swedish car maker, a leading partner in the Drive Me research
project, aims to have its first fully autonomous car on the market by
2021.

Volvo Cars provided a vision of what autonomous cars could deliver with
Concept 26, revealed in 2015. More recently the company has partnered
with ride-sharing company Uber to develop base technology for autonomous
cars and has launched a joint venture with leading automotive safety
supplier Autoliv, called Zenuity aimed at developing benchmark
autonomous drive software and safety solutions for OEMs.

Volvo Cars also announced preliminary full year sales figures at the
Detroit Motor Show, reflecting the continued growth that the premium car
maker is achieving, and restated its commitment to further growing the
brand in the United States, where a new Volvo car plant will begin
production in 2018, creating over 4,000 new American jobs in Charleston,
South Carolina.
