July 5, 2020 – Last August, VSI Labs completed a 2,000-mile journey from their Minneapolis, Minnesota home to Santa Clara, California, for the Drive World conference. The test vehicle, a 2018 Ford Fusion with a Dataspeed by-wire control system, was subjected to a multitude of roads, driving situations, and environments, including the hot desert sun. The VSI Labs team would later remark at the 2020 Electronic Imaging Symposium that keeping sand away from the Linux-based computer in the trunk was a challenge.
