Are we ready for self driving cars?

A few weeks ago a new vehicle testing centre in Sweden opened, designed purely to evaluate and assess safety technology.

One of the demonstrations at the site included sitting in the driving seat of a Volvo S60 fitted with autonomous technology. I sat behind the wheel while the car drove around a part of the track meant to similate high-speed rural roads, keeping a safe distance from the vehicle in front and keeping in the centre of the lane.
