Self driving car takes first trip

 

 "Roadrunner," a self-driving car manufactured by Delphi Automotive, has just completed a journey of nearly 3,400-mile across the United States.

The Roadrunner, an Audi SQ5, spent nearly 99% of the nine-day trip in fully automated mode. Adorned sensors and other Delphi self-driving systems it navigates through difficult conditions such as traffic circles, construction, bridges, bad weather and aggressive drivers.

The road trip crossed 15 states along the way, he started in San Francisco and ended in New York. Delphi engineers gathered nearly three terabytes of car data, information they plan to use in the promotion of automated driving technologies.
