The Volvo Test Facility

An article from Wired a week or so ago about The Volvo automated driving test facility.  It simulates urban, rural, and highway environments.  It looks quite well thought out.  Sadly, Volvo doesn't have much online about what they are up to, but you can see what they are willing to share here, and even download a sharp looking brochure.

Spain Joins the Pack

Automated driving vehicles have been tested with the SARTRE Project on highways around Barcelona, Spain, according to a Volvo press release.
