A self-driving car is gearing up for  a 3,500-mile cross-country road trip from San Francisco to New York that begins next week. A person will always be behind the wheel of the autonomous car, developed by Delphi Automotive, in order to take control if there is a situation the vehicle cannot handle on its own. The car will begin its journey on March 22 so that it can reach New York in time for the International Auto Show. Scroll down for video. A self-driving car developed by Delphi Automotive is preparing for a 3,500-mile cross-country road trip next week that will take it from San Francisco to New York. Delphi, a major Michigan-based auto supplier, is planning for the car to drive eight hours a day for eight days. The autonomous vehicle will mainly stick to the highways, where it will be able to pass slower cars and maintain a safe distance from other automobiles all on its own. Delphi CTO Jeff Owens told WIRED the road trip will be the 'ultimate test' for the vehicle, as it will be exposed to a 'range of driving conditions' as well as various types of weather. It's design is based on a 2014 Audi SQ5. According to Delphi officials, the road trip will be the longest automated drive ever attempted in North America. In 2010 an autonomous van created by Italian company VisLab completed an 8,000-mile journey from Europe to Shanghai for three months. Unlike Google's driverless car (pictured), Dephi's vehicle senors are tucked in the car's front, rear and sides and thus cannot be seen. Although it will be the Delphi car's longest journey, it won't be its first. The Delphi vehicle has driven around the company's Silicon Valley office and has already completed a trip from San Francisco to Los Angeles. But the car really earned its stripes when, during a demonstration at the Las Vegas Consumer Electronics Show in January, it braked by itself as two drunk men stumbled into the street in front of it. Delphi says the vehicle is capable of making complex decisions, like stopping and then proceeding at a four-way stop, merging onto the highway or maneuvering around a bicyclist or a trash can. When the car wants the driver to resume control, it uses a verbal warning and flashes lights on the dashboard. Although most experts say a true driverless vehicle is at least a decade away, Delphi's autonomous automobile is helping the technology look more like a regular car. Unlike other driverless cars developed by Google and Honda, the lidar sensors on Dephi's vehicle are tucked in the car's front, rear and sides and thus cannot be seen. The car also has cameras throughout, including one that watches the driver. Because lidar systems can cost around $70,000 apiece, they drive up the price of the autonomous prototypes. But Delphi engineer Doug Welk said one of the reasons for the road trip is to help decide what combination of sensors is best suited for the car, which will ultimately help lower costs. Delphi estimates it will cost around $5,000 to make a vehicle almost fully autonomous by 2019. Delphi CTO Jeff Owens said the road trip would be the 'ultimate test' for the autonomous vehicle, as it would be exposed to a 'range of driving conditions' as well as various types of weather.

En självkörande bil förbereder sig för en 3500-mils längdfärd från San Francisco till New York som börjar nästa vecka. En person kommer alltid att vara bakom ratten i den autonoma bilen, utvecklad av Delphi Automotive, för att ta kontroll om det finns en situation fordonet inte kan hantera på egen hand. Bilen kommer att börja sin resa den 22 mars så att den kan nå New York i tid för International Auto Show. Scrolla ner för video. En självkörande bil utvecklad av Delphi Automotive förbereder sig för en 3 500 mil lång landsvägsresa nästa vecka som tar den från San Francisco till New York. Delphi, en stor Michigan-baserad billeverantör, planerar för bilen att köra åtta timmar om dagen i åtta dagar. Det autonoma fordonet kommer främst att hålla sig till motorvägarna, där det kommer att kunna passera långsammare bilar och behålla ett säkert avstånd från andra bilar alla på egen hand. Delphi CTO Jeff Owens berättade WIRED road trip kommer att vara "ultimat test" för fordonet, eftersom det kommer att utsättas för ett "intervall av körförhållanden" samt olika typer av väder. Designen är baserad på en Audi SQ5 från 2014. Enligt Delphi tjänstemän, kommer resan att vara den längsta automatiserade körning någonsin försök i Nordamerika. 2010 genomförde en autonom skåpbil skapad av det italienska företaget VisLab en 8 000-mils resa från Europa till Shanghai under tre månader. Till skillnad från Googles förarlösa bil (bildad) är Dephis fordonssenorer instoppade i bilens fram-, bak- och sidor och kan därmed inte ses. Även om det blir Delphi-bilens längsta resa blir det inte dess första. Delphi-fordonet har kört runt företagets Silicon Valley-kontor och har redan genomfört en resa från San Francisco till Los Angeles. Men bilen förtjänade verkligen sina ränder när den under en demonstration på Las Vegas Consumer Electronics Show i januari bromsade av sig själv när två berusade män snubblade ut på gatan framför den. Delphi säger att fordonet är kapabelt att fatta komplexa beslut, som att stanna och sedan fortsätta vid en fyrvägs stopp, sammansmälta på motorvägen eller manövrera runt en cyklist eller en soptunna. När bilen vill att föraren ska återuppta kontrollen använder den en verbal varning och blinkar med ljus på instrumentbrädan. Även om de flesta experter säger att ett riktigt förarlöst fordon ligger minst ett decennium bort, hjälper Delphis självkörande bil tekniken att se mer ut som en vanlig bil. Till skillnad från andra förarlösa bilar som utvecklats av Google och Honda är lidarsensorerna på Dephis fordon instoppade i bilens fram-, bak- och sidor och kan därmed inte ses. Bilen har även kameror genomgående, bland annat en som bevakar föraren. Eftersom lidarsystem kan kosta runt 70 000 dollar styck driver de upp priset på de autonoma prototyperna. Men Delphi ingenjör Doug Welk sade en av anledningarna till resan är att hjälpa till att bestämma vilken kombination av sensorer är bäst lämpad för bilen, vilket i slutändan kommer att bidra till lägre kostnader. Delphi uppskattar att det kommer att kosta runt $5,000 att göra ett fordon nästan helt autonomt till 2019. Delphi CTO Jeff Owens sade att resan skulle vara det "ultimata testet" för det autonoma fordonet, eftersom det skulle utsättas för ett "intervall av körförhållanden" samt olika typer av väder.
