Go ahead and do it.

FWIW, there are lots of constrained environments with fully autonomous vehicles. Volvo themselves have autonomous trucks operating in mines:

Volvo cars and Volvo trucks are separate companies. Volvo Group sold Volvo Cars to Ford in 1999 and now Volvo cars are owned by Geely.

That’s not the same Volvo that the article is about. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volvo_Cars vs. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volvo

Well I learned something new today. I had no idea that Volvo cars are now a part of a large Chinese company.
