NEW YORK(CBSNewYork) — A road trip from California to New York that starts on Sunday is about to make headlines.

It has been billed as the longest journey ever for a self-driving car.

As CBS2’s Kara Tsuboi reported, three people will be riding in the modified Audi, but for a majority of the time no one will actually be driving.

“It’s the longest coast to coast journey of an automated car from San Francisco to New York,” John Absmeier said.
