Autonomous Vehicle News
Volvo's global chief has said that full autonomous driving would not happen for a long time to come, despite him confirming that his company has the technology to roll it out now. Each AD level adds more and more autonomy, but Level 5 is full driving automation where the vehicle can drive itself everywhere in all situations. And, according to Volvo Cars CEO and president Jim Rowan, these internationally recognised levels of autonomy are "nonsense". Each AD level adds more and more autonomy, but Level 5 is full driving automation. Mr Rowan cautioned that venturing beyond the environment of a freeway lane, autonomous driving in inner city and urban areas won't be happening anytime soon, and that realisation is impacting the value of some automotive manufacturers.
