Volvo 360c

It’s our autonomous pod of the month! Before you get ahead of yourselves, this isn’t a replacement for the boxy, Dutch-built Volvo 360 either. No, Volvo aspires to take on short haul £lights with this rather swish-looking driverless car. It’s allelectric, with Volvo saying it’ll do 186 miles on one charge. The idea is that if you’re travelling from continental city to city, the car will do it for you while you chill in the sleeping cabin… not that 186 miles will get you to that many cities. Volvo wanted to show exactly what its autonomous concepts can actually do and how people might use them, instead of just being ‘a tech showcase’ and little more, according to Robin Page, Volvo’s senior VP for design.
