STOCKHOLM—Volvo has won approval to begin hands-free testing of its software for self-driving cars on Swedish highways, partner Veoneer said Jan. 28.

Veoneer said the Zenuity software for Level 4 autonomous driving—the second-highest level—would be tested in a Volvo car by trained drivers with their hands off the steering wheel at a maximum speed of 80 kilometers per hour (50 miles per hour).
