Italian Engineers Launch Driverless EV on an 8,000 Mile Journey

A group of Italian engineers came up with the idea of creating a driverless EV that would be able to cross 8,000 miles and collect data that later could be used in the field driverless technology.
They develop a car that is expected to travel from Italy to China, through Siberia. Despite the fact that the vehicle is driverless, the team will monitor it from two electric vans in two other electric vans during the whole trip.
The electric vehicle features a number of laser scanners and video cameras that will allow the car to avoid obstacles in its way.
