Toyota Motor Corp. plans to open a testing complex for autonomous vehicles this autumn within an existing independently owned proving grounds in southeastern Michigan.
TRI is constructing additional test areas within the course’s inner ring. These will simulate congested urban environments, slick surfaces and a four-lane divided highway with high-speed entrance and exit ramps. The areas will enable Toyota to simulate scenarios that are too risky to stage on public roads.
Toyota conducts similar tests at the American Center for Mobility in Ypsilanti Township, Mich., and GoMentum Station in Concord, Calif. The company says the Ottawa Lake complex will enable it to design custom tests tailored to its needs.
