Chuck Bednar for redOrbit.com - @BednarChuck Automotive systems manufacturer Delphi is putting self-driving technology to its toughest test yet, sending an autonomous car on a cross-country road trip from San Francisco to New York to gather key information about the performance of the vehicle’s sensors and software. The company is calling the 3,500-mile voyage, which officially got underway on Sunday, “the longest automated drive ever attempted in North America" and is hoping that it will demonstrate that the technology is able to handle a vast array of different situations, including things such as traffic jams, cruising at highway speeds, inclement weather and even parking. Old, meet new. #DelphiDrive in Cabazon, CA. http://ift.tt/19jGcjt — Delphi Automotive (@DelphiAuto) March 23, 2015 Broadening the range of driving conditions Delphi is hoping that its 2015 Audi SQ5 will be able to make it to the Big Apple in time for next week’s New York Auto Show, and three engineers/drivers are on board in case they need to take control of the vehicle for any reason, according to PC Magazine.
