Must Experience 1: Take a Wild West Road Trip
The United States is famous all over the world as a country on wheels. If you are a road fan or have self-driving as a dream, then the United States is a self-driving destination that you must experience in your life.
The whole journey is more than 4,000 kilometers and takes more than half a month.

Precautions for self-driving in the United States:
- Pedestrian priority . In the United States, pedestrians have certain rights of way. If a pedestrian is crossing the road, the driver must stop and give way, regardless of the situation, even if there is no sidewalk.
- Don’t make phone calls while driving . Don’t hold a phone while driving, you can use a Bluetooth headset, but pay attention to only use one ear to answer, you can’t hold the phone in your hand to play, and it is forbidden to use the mobile phone to surf the Internet.
