If you've ever searched for "Chinese dash cam" on Youtube, you'll know that urban China can be a dicey place to drive for any person - which is part of the reason why Swedish manufacturer Volvo reckons its the perfect environment to test the self-driving cars of the future.

Volvo plans to release up to 100 autonomous test vehicles onto public roads in China as part of the biggest autonomous driving experiment to take place in the country. The end goal: safer cars that can self-navigate through crowded city streets without a driver at the helm.

“There are multiple benefits to autonomous cars,” said Volvo CEO Hakan Samuelsson. 

“That is why governments need to put in place the legislation to allow autonomous cars onto the streets as soon as possible.

"The car industry cannot do it all by itself. We need governmental help.”
