Volvo plans to sell self-driving car in 5 years

ROMULUS, Mich. — Volvo Car Corp. plans to sell a selfdriving vehicle to consumers in five years. Volvo CEO Hakan Samuelsson says the car will have a steering wheel, but consumers can pay $10,000 extra for a full autopilot system that will let them relax while the car drives itself. Samuelsson says Volvo is already making early versions of the vehicles. They’ll be tested on public roads in Sweden next year and in London and China in 2018. Volvo’s consumerfocused strategy differs from rivals. Ford Motor Co. plans a self-driving car in five years, but it will go into car-sharing fleets.
