Veoneer's joint venture for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving software, Zenuity, has won approval for self-driving tests on public roads in Sweden.

Transportstyrelsen, the Swedish Transport Agency, has permitted tests done by trained drivers with their hands off the steering wheel at a maximum speed of 80 km/h (50mph).

The approved routes are the E4 between Stockholm and Malmo, road 40 between Jonköping and Gothenburg, and the E6 between Gothenburg and Malmö.

"The approval to do real life tests is essential for gathering important data and test functions. It is a strong proof point for the progress of Zenuity's self-driving capabilities," said Nishant Batra, chief technology officer.

Zenuity is a joint venture between Veoneer and Volvo Cars.
