mile test drive from Italy to China

The sensors enabled them to navigate through wide extremes in road, traffic and weather, to Shanghai while collecting data to be analysed for further research, in a study sponsored by the European Research Council.

'We didn't know the route, I mean what the roads would have been and if we would have found nice roads, traffic, lots of traffic, medium traffic, crazy drivers or regular drivers, so we encountered the lot,' said Isabella Fredriga, a research engineer for the project.

Although the vans were driverless and mapless, they did carry researchers as passengers in case of emergencies. The experimenters did have to intervene a few times when the vehicles got caught in a Moscow traffic jam and to handle toll booths.

The project used no maps, often travelling through remote regions of Siberia and China. At one point, a van stopped to give a hitchhiker a lift.

'This steering wheel is controlled by the PC. So the PC sends a command and the steering wheel moves and turns and we can follow the road, follow the curves and van cleef alhambra earrings replica avoid obstacles with this,' said Alberto Broggi of Vislab at the University of Parma in Italy, the lead researcher for the project.

'The idea here was to travel on a long route, on two different continents, in different states, different weather, different traffic conditions, different infrastructure. Then we can have some huge number of situations to test the system on,' he said.

The technology will be used to study ways to complement drivers' abilities. It also could have applications in farming, mining and construction.

The vehicles ran at maximum speeds of 38 mph and had to be recharged for eight hours after every two to three hours of driving.

At times, it was monotonous and occasionally nerve racking, inevitably due to human error, Ms Fredriga said.

'There were a few scary moments. Like when the following vehicle bumped into the leading one and that was just because we forgot, we stopped and we forgot to turn the system off,' she said.

The project knock off van cleef flower earrings has been funded with a 1.5 million

grant from the European Commission's European Research Council.
