Covering approximately 3,500 miles, the journey will allow Delphi engineers to gather critical data and put the vehicle to the test under a variety of driving conditions from changing weather and terrain to potential road hazards.

“Delphi had great success testing its car in California and on the streets of Las Vegas,” said Jeff Owens, Delphi’s chief technology officer. “Now it’s time to put our vehicle to the ultimate test by broadening the range of driving conditions. This drive will help us collect invaluable data in our quest to deliver the best automotive grade technologies on the market.”
