Is Volvo Being Too Aggressive In It's Quest To Be Death Proof?

Volvo is on a mission to create a "death-proof" car by 2020. With that goal quickly approaching, self-driving technology is becoming increasingly important to help eliminate road fatalities.

Although autonomous driving technology is far perfect, Bloomberg's Tom Lavell reports that Volvo believes one third of its cars will be autonomous halfway through the next decade.

There are certain vehicles out there that are "zero-fatality" vehicles, apparently.

It may have been bulls**t, but my MB Manhattan service advisor told me that the GL/GLS series of SUV's is "zero-fatality" in the USA.

Hmmm - I wonder how that can be verified?
