Volvo To Challenge BMW With Self Driving Models In 2021

Volvo plans to sell a model able to pilot itself along the highway by 2021, joining BMW Group in a promise of self-driving technology within five years.

Volvo will start testing vehicles with advanced self-driving features next year in Gothenburg, Sweden, London and China, eventually putting about 100 test cars on the road in each country with ordinary customers as drivers. The project is a stepping-stone toward systems that are able to take over without human intervention.

That's nice. Is it programmed to stop at every Ikea?

Yes. First IKEA and then it stops at The Home Depot to buy screws to bolt the furniture to the wall so it doesn't fall over on your kids. It's all pre-programmed into the nav.

That Ikea commercial is HILARIOUS. We have some Ikea stuff in the kids' rooms but who doesn't know to screw chests of drawers to the walls?

In fact, I just finished outfitting the new kid's room.
