This is not your normal XC90.
For decades, Volvo has been known for its commitment to safety, and now it's moving full steam ahead with self-driving technology in the safest possible manner, of course. The automaker announced it's teaming with China's DiDi Autonomous Driving, the self-driving tech division of DiDi Chuxing, which bought Uber China a few years ago.
Several examples of the Volvo XC90 are being modified with the necessary software and hardware to join DiDi's self-driving fleet. Things like backup systems for steering and braking and other related software are being integrated into DiDi's already-in-place testing network. These XC90s will actually be the first to integrate DiDi's new self-driving hardware platform.
