Volvo in partnership with Uber produced their limited 100 XC90 that are 100% autonomous.

Quoting the article:
"Fully capable of driving itself with the help of Uber’s self-driving system the Volvo XC90 SUV presented today is fully autonomous."
"Volvo will also use similar technologies in their next-generation vehicles built on the SPA2 architecture for improved road safety and convenience in scenarios such as traffic jams and designated areas such as highways and ring roads."

Ahh that wonderful Uber tech that killed a ped that was clearly visible and indeed Volvo's own citysafety supplier said would have stopped the car had Uber not disabled it.

Not sure jumping into bed with Uber is a great thing!

What's important here is the Volvo tech involved regarding sensors, cameras etc and the nVidia hardware that will be at the center of it.

This will allow them to gather info for research for the next cars even if they are using today's Uber self driving software/hardware for that purpose.
