Visteon Corp. is committing $5 million to become a founder-level sponsor for the American Center for Mobility (ACM) currently under construction in Ypsilanti Township, Mich.
With Visteon’s investment, ACM says it has raised $108 million. Other founder-level sponsors are AT&T, Toyota, Ford and Hyundai.
Visteon plans to use the center to test and validate technology related to its DriveCore artificial intelligence-based autonomous driving platform, which the company will introduce in January at the CES electronics show in Las Vegas. Focus areas include autonomous driving algorithms, telematics communications, sensor technology and security protocols.
ACM’s 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. The first phase of the project is due to open for testing in December.
