Almost Driverless: Autonomous Car Completes 3,400-Mile Road Trip
01:42 GMT 03.04.2015 (Updated: 10:09 GMT 06.08.2022) An autonomous car fitted with radar, cameras and laser sensors drove itself 99% of the time during a recent 3,400-mile trip from San Francisco to New York – never once exceeding the speed limit on the 15-state journey.
The person sitting in the driver seat of the Audi Q5 – outfitted by auto supplier Delphi Corp. – intervened once when traffic was weaving around in a construction zone, and again when the car did not want to move into a busy left lane to avoid police stopped on the right shoulder.
While navigating bridges, traffic circles and open highways, the car collected nearly three terabytes of data – roughly equivalent to 30 percent of all of the printed material in the Library of Congress – which engineers can use to further enhance autonomous driving systems.
