Delphi Automotive plc plans to showcase its autonomous-car technologies in a vehicle that will drive itself 3,500 miles from San Francisco to New York City.
Delphi touts the test as the longest automated drive ever attempted in North America.
The specially equipped Audi Q5 crossover is scheduled to begin its drive on March 22 and arrive in New York ahead of the city's auto show on about April 1. The car will have at least two pilots on board and reportedly will operate in automatic mode only under highway conditions.
Among the test vehicle's equipment will be radar, vision and advanced drive assistance systems, high-definition mapping, a high-capacity central processor, wireless connectivity with the immediate environment, automatic lane-change capability, automated city-driving technology and an automatic parking and valet system.
