NEW YORK, US - An autonomous vehicle has completed a 5472km road trip in the US with almost no intervention by a human.
Autoparts supplier Delphi says the Audi Q5 fitted with radar, cameras and laser sensors drove itself 99% of the time during the nine-day trip through 15 states from San Francisco to New York.
Drivers intervened once when traffic was weaving around in a construction zone and again when the car didn't want to move into a busy left lane. But for the most part, it easily navigated bridges, traffic circles and open highways.
