Uber unveils next-generation Volvo self-driving car

WASHINGTON -- Uber Technologies unveiled its newest Volvo self-driving car in Washington, D.C., Wednesday as it works to eventually deploy vehicles without drivers under some limited conditions.

Uber said the production-ready XC90s, which will be assembled by Volvo at its plant in Torslanda, Sweden, will have human controls such as steering wheels and brake pedals, but added that the SUVs will have factory-installed steering and braking systems designed for computer control rather than human control.
