Volvo: AstaZero & Beyond: Putting 100 Autonomous Cars on the Road by 2017

摘要

AstaZero is located in Sanhult, Sweden, which is in the western part of the country. And while its name may smack of cyberpunk or anime, it is actually the name of what is said to be the "world's first full-scale proving ground for future traffic safety solutions." They take automotive safety rather seriously in Sweden. AstaZero is owned by SP Technical Research Institute of Sweden and Chalmers University of Technology (yes, this is a Swedish university); its partners are AB Volvo, Volvo Car Corporation, Autoliv, Scania, The Swedish Transport Administration, Region Vastra Gotaland, Boras Stad, Vinnova, Tillvaxtverket, and Test Site Sweden.
