Volvo to test self-drive cars in UK

Swedish carmaker Volvo plans to run driverless car trials on public roads around London from next year. Initially the cars will be semi-autonomous, with real families travelling in them. Similar trials will run in the Swedish city Gothenburg. Drive Me London, as the trial is dubbed, will record data from these everyday journeys to help develop the technology and adapt it to real-world conditions. Details of which roads the cars will be tested on are not yet known.
