is self-driving cars a threat or an opportunity?

Soon, autonomous cars a reality and both politicians and companies have hopes that Sweden should take a leading role in the field. It emerged during a seminar in the Swedish Parliament.

– We have commissioned a study on autonomous driving. When we talk about this and that we are already in 2017 will have 100 cars in trials on a public street – then the rest of the world impressed. We want to be a driving force internationally to get to a regulatory framework, but also nationally to get the legislation does not prevent technical development, says Infrastructure Minister Anna Johansson.



Starting a small scale

Even in a year, the project “Drive me” which include Volvo cars, Autoliv, Trafikverket, the Swedish Transport Agency and Chalmers includes having 100 self-driving cars on the roads around Gothenburg.

Volvo’s chief executive, Hakan Samuelsson, said Sweden has a unique position. That the Swedish model, with openness and cooperation, is the best prerequisite for the fast to be able to get a self-driving car fleet.

– Sweden is a small country and we are easy to work. With the right attitude, this is an opportunity for us and Sweden to assert themselves – to play an important role in the segment.



‘cute man drove himself “

It begins thus so small within a year, but then it will go quickly, and maybe it will be so “manually” run cars will soon be only a memory.

– I think there are people who will rush the new technology . There will be a public pressure that accelerates the development towards cars become more and more self-propelled. When the future ‘we’ look at contemporary ‘we’ will find it cute that you drove a car completely yourself at all times and find it completely koko, says Mathias Sundin, Member of Parliament for the Liberals.

Sundin also believe that in the future will not be allowed to run itself on public roads. However, he does not believe that it will be politically forced.

– I absolutely believe that it will [a law against driving yourself], but there will be demand from voters and consumers. They will find that it is too dangerous to drive yourself. Then there will be a place for fun driving, but when it is about driving on the track and a completely different thing than the usual business as usual, he said.
