A
self-driving car created by Delphi Automotive, dubbed "Roadrunner,"
just completed a nearly 3,400-mile journey across the United States, marking
the first coast-to-coast autonomous drive to go down in North America. Decked
out with sensors and other advanced self-driving tech, the Roadrunner spent 99%
of the nine-day trip in fully automated mode. It navigated through tricky
conditions like traffic circles, construction zones, bridges, inclement weather
and "aggressive drivers."
The road trip started in San Francisco and ended in New York
City, crossing 15 states along the way. Delphi engineers gathered almost three
terabytes of data from the car, information they plan to use in advancing
automated driving technologies. While companies like Google and
Mercedes-Benz are getting in on the self-driving car craze, Delphi's drive is
the first coast-to-coast journey undertaken by an autonomous vehicle.
