driverless vehicles completed their journey from Italy to Shanghai

Some of you may remember when we reported to vehicles without a driver, on the road to Parma, Italy Shanghai, wanted to take China. We are pleased to present a report on their success.

For those who do not know which, these vehicles are not really free drivers, as they had people in them that may over the vehicles at the touch of a button. Although I have not read the official report have, my source says that the trip was done by 8078 miles (13,000 km) with minimal intervention. ”

Apparently they took the clearest possible lines, but they do happen cities such as Moscow. The cars were all electric, which means no stopping for gas on the road. However, the type of EV vehicles for only four hours, commute every day.

I suspect that, the scientific approach to making this trip should be applied, and the project manager Alberto Broggi see where driverless electric vehicles, “decisions” hurts and see if, laser scanners, GPS devices and other internal programs of these cars improved be.

I think the team on arrival coincided with the World Expo in Shanghai. Perhaps a function Expo, a single driver on arrival at the Expo. That would be a record.
