Driverless cars will cross the United States for the first time
March 24, the U.S. auto parts maker Delphi Automotive launched the first test of driverless cars across the United States in Sunday, starting with the San Francisco Golden Gate Bridge. In the coming week, the modified Audi SQ5 SUV will travel 3500 miles (about 4023 kilometers) to New York.
The driverless car is scheduled to arrive in New York before April 3 at the New York International Auto Show. "It's the longest driverless car in the United States," says Delphi. "
The driverless car could cause concern among drivers along the way. But Delphi says drivers don't have to worry if they run into the driverless car. The two drivers will sit in the car and hand-operate the car in an emergency.
Delphi, located in Michigan, is currently one of the largest automotive electronics and security systems providers in the United States. In the course of the unmanned vehicle, the company will collect up to 2.3TB of data through sophisticated camera, radar and laser positioning technology.
The unmanned vehicle is equipped with 20 sensors, including 4 short-range radars, 3 video cameras, 6 laser locators, a localized system, and a driving assistant software. Delphi hopes to prove its wireless and active security system in this test.

Driverless cars will be the first across the US
Delphi tests show that carmakers and spare parts suppliers are increasingly interested in unmanned technology and are willing to invest in it. Such driverless cars will be ready for mass production as early as 2020. Jeff Owens, Chief technology officer at Delphi, Jeff Owens that automated driving aids will be a module of driverless cars for the next 10 years. The company has been developing unmanned vehicles since 1999, when the company was spun off from General Motors.
Google (Weibo) is also developing driverless cars. The company has publicly announced that it will launch such products within 5 years. Currently, Google has tested unmanned vehicles near its headquarters in Mountain View, Calif. In addition, Tesla announced last week that it will release a software upgrade this summer to enable auto driving on highways.
Delphi says the driverless car will be able to automatically stop at a crossroads during its trip to New York and determine the best way to avoid cycling. In addition, the unmanned system can perform more complex operations, such as the alignment of highways. Delphi is expected to test features such as traffic congestion assistance, freeway automatic cruise, Automatic lane change, and automatic parking. Over the next 2-3 years, all of these systems will be used in mass production models.
at the 2015 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES), the car was tested on the streets of Las Vegas and headed for Los Angeles from the Bay Area of California. Glenn Devos Glen De Vos, vice president of Advanced product Engineering at Delphi Electronics and Security, said the complete autopilot system would come in 2020 years, and the cost of cars would increase to $5000.
In this process, Delphi will provide certain components and technologies, including the technology of vehicle connectivity for the Super Cruise automatic driving system of General Motors. The system will be used in the new Cadillac CT6 model in 2016.
In this trip across the United States, the car will face a variety of driving conditions, such as weather and terrain changes, as well as dangerous conditions on the road. This situation cannot be tested in the lab. In addition, the car will not be in bad weather and evening driving, the average daily travel time will be 8 hours. John Absmeier, the John Absmel director, said that once the unmanned system had been tested, it could be used in any model.
2010 years ago, an Italian company drove a driverless car from Europe to China, with a total trip of 8000 miles.
