A self-driving car equipped by GM spinoff Delphi Automotive completed today a historic, 3,500-mile journey across the U.S. from San Franscisco to New York.

The trip demonstrated the full capabilities of its active safety technologies with the longest automated drive ever attempted in North America. The coast-to-coast trip, launched in San Francisco on March 22, covered approximately 3,500 miles.

Demonstrated on the streets of Las Vegas at CES 2015, Delphi’s automated driving vehicle leveraged a full suite of technologies and features to make this trip possible, including:

Radar, vision and Advanced Drive Assistance Systems (ADAS)

Multi-domain controller: High-end microprocessor to seamlessly drive multiple features and functions

V2V/V2X: Wireless vehicle communication technology extends the range of existing ADAS functionality

Intelligent software that enables the vehicle to make complex, human-like decisions for real-world automated driving Traffic Jam Assist Automated Highway Pilot with Lane Change (on-ramp to off-ramp highway pilot) Automated Urban Pilot Automated Parking and Valet



Delphi’s active safety technologies enable the vehicle to instantaneously make complex decisions, like stopping and then proceeding at a four-way stop, timing a highway merge or calculating the safest maneuver around a bicyclist on a city street.

Many of these driving scenarios have been a limitation for much of the current technology on the market today.
