Chevy Data Scientists Concoct Ultimate Formula For Hitting the Road

On a daily basis here at the Powerhouse, we are talking to customers who are searching for the vehicles that will really fulfill the daily duty of getting them around town. Trucks for hauling and contracting jobs, Sedans for around-town jaunts, and vans for extra-large cargo all have many types of new Chevy models available for the 2018 year. As the summer is right around the corner, many are coming to us wondering what the best vehicles are for road trips, and when you are thinking of taking a trip, sometimes the route itself poses a big question.

Chevy enlisted the vast expertise of data scientist Randy Olson to help travelers make the most of their plans, while looking at the best route to get through all 48 continental states. Some of the best-known vacation spots are at their peak enjoyment factor during summer, when temperatures are rising, and sunny skies abound. According to a recent national survey commissioned by Chevrolet, time that is spent with family, and exploring new and interesting locations were parents in the U.S.'s top two favorite qualities of family road trips. Highlighting national landmarks like theme parks and other points of interest like the legendary Grand Canyon, the data on this map provides an efficient route between these world-class destinations with the least amount of aggravation, and need for backtracking.

The map is designed so those who are hitting the road can start anywhere they wish, and drive as much, or as little as they feel for the day. Since Chevy is now the only brand to earn J.D. Power Dependability Awards for cars, trucks, and SUVs three years in a row, and by choosing our vehicle line as your means of taking a trip, you can be confident that your safety priorities will be fulfilled. The national survey commissioned by Chevy found that parents typically gather an average of 6.6 mobile devices while on the road in the vehicle. The technology options that are offered in vehicles like the Chevy Traverse, Equinox, and Trax are capable of keeping travelers entertained, and connected with available 4G LTE Wi-Fi, built-in navigation options, and Apple CarPlay as well as Android Auto functions.


One of the coolest aspects of this partnership with the ultimate navigation guru was for those who are looking to take trips that are a bit shorter. For those that want to explore different parts of the country in-depth, there are specific zones such as the West Coast and Northeast, to hone in and give the driver the best advice possible. For anyone right here in Missouri that has a sudden itch to head south in a hurry, we had our eyes intently on the Gulf Islands National Seashore as a destination on the map: the white sandy beaches, aquamarine waters, camping spots, and tours of old forts have been among the favorite activities. This is an area that stretches for 160 miles along the northern cost of the Gulf of Mexico, from Cat Island, to the Okaloosa area in Florida.
