Volvo, Supplied 24,000 self-driving vehicles to Uber




XC 90 models from 2019 ... "Total contract size is one billion dollars"

Volvo Cars will supply 24,000 XC90 models as Uber's self-propelled vehicle, the world's largest vehicle-sharing company, according to the Wall Street Journal (WSJ).

Volvo and Uber have signed the same contract but have not disclosed details. However, the contract is expected to be worth more than $ 1 billion, or about 4.5 trillion won, last year.

Volvo will supply vehicles sequentially from 2019 to 2021, when Uber's autonomous service begins, the WSJ said. Software for vehicle calling and sharing services is also installed separately.

Volvo has maintained a partnership with Uber, which promotes autonomous driving services. Uber is a Volvo XC90 vehicle and operates an autonomous pilot service in some areas.

Uber tried to launch an autonomous service in San Francisco following Pittsburgh last December, but moved the location of trial service to Arizona with the disappealing of the state's transportation authorities.

Trump "Unemployment rate down 4% in term ... Next year's economic boom" US President Donald Trump said he would lower his unemployment rate to less than 4 percent in his term. Trump said in his Twitter account that "the unemployment rate will fall below 4 percent under President Trump." "Analysts are expecting an economic boom in 2018," he added. The media has interpreted it in connection with a situation in which his strong tax bill passes the House of Representatives last week and is about to vote in the Senate. The Trump government expects the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the United States to grow by 3-5% over the long term if tax cuts that lower the corporate income tax rate from the current 35% to 20% are implemented.
