Volvo Car to support first ever road tests of autonomous driving technology in Australia

摘要

Volvo Car Australia is supporting a national initiative to road test autonomous driving technology on Australian roads for the first time ever. Today Volvo has joined the ARRB Group, Australia's national independent road research agency, and the South Australia Government to announce Australia's first autonomous vehicle demonstration trials will begin in November this year. The ARRB announced today the trials will coincide with a Driverless Vehicle Conference to be held on November 5-6. To support the trial Volvo Car Australia will provide an All-New XC90 that will be specially programmed to allow its IntelliSafe Assist (Adaptive Cruise Control including Pilot Assist, Lane Keeping Aid, Distance Alert, and Speed Limiter Function) to be operated hands free, within a controlled environment.
