In its press release, Volvo pointed to research from IHS Markit that predicts China will become the biggest market for autonomous vehicles in the future, comprising nearly half of the global volume by 2040. The fruits of Volvo and Baidu's labor should break cover in the 2020s.
The Swedish automaker is no stranger to offering up its automotive know-how for autonomous-vehicle development. Volvo currently supplies Uber with a fleet of XC90 SUVs that the ride-hailing giant uses as the base for its self-driving tech.
