Luxury vehicle maker Volvo has just introduced the 2018 XC40, the company’s latest SUV that looks forward to compete with the Porsche Macan or Range Rover Evoque.

During the course of a recent interview with The Verge, automaker Volvo's Trent Victor - the company's senior technical leader of crash avoidance - said that Volvo has efforts underway to introduce an autonomous driving technology better than electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla Motors' 'Autopilot' feature.

Tech giant Google has joined forces with automakers Ford and Volvo, as well as ride-sharing service Uber and Lyft, to form a new coalition which will seek faster action from lawmakers and regulators in bringing self-driving vehicles to the market.

In an announcement made in Beijing, China, Thursday morning local time, Swedish auto manufacturer Volvo Cars has revealed that it plans to conduct its self-driving car experiment -- which is part of the company's 'Drive Me' programme -- in China.
