Hyundai Motor Co. is committing $5 million and becoming a founder-level sponsor for the American Center for Mobility (ACM) under construction outside Detroit.
The company also is joining ACM’s government-industry team, which is developing standards and regulations for autonomous vehicles.
With Hyundai’s investment, the Ypsilanti Township-based ACM says it has raised $101 million. The non-profit organization, which also recently received $5 million contributions each from Toyota Motor Corp. and Ford Motor Co., increased its fundraising goal by $15 million to $135 million.
The 500-acre complex will provide low- and high-speed test tracks and zones that simulate urban, residential and commercial areas for testing of connectivity and autonomous vehicle technologies. Construction began last November of a 2.5-mile highway loop with on- and off-ramps, a 700-ft curved tunnel, a customer garage and an operations center.
Hyundai says it will use ACM’s facilities to test sensor technology, vehicle-to-infrastructure communication and how connected vehicle systems perform in inclement weather.
