The autonomous vehicle created by Mexican Raul Rojas Gonzalez will be tested in October with a test-drive of 2,400 kilometers (1,491 miles) without any person at the wheel.

To conduct this evaluation, a three-dimensional map was generated of the route between Nogales and Mexico City that the car will take, explains Rojas González, Professor of Artificial Intelligence at the Free University of Berlin.

The map provides detailed information on road conditions to the computer installed in the car, which with 33 sensors, nine video cameras, nine radars and a GPS system can be operated without a driver.

Among the data collected are the number and width of lanes, maximum speed, location of  intersections, traffic lights, speed bumps and highway interconnections.
