Corporation General Motors, which is not only invested half a billion in Uber capital, but also cooperates with a rival service Lyft, announced its intention to expand the geography of its test prototype vehicles with an automatic control system. Earlier park of about 40 prototypes tested in California and Arizona, but now in these regions of the United States will join Michigan. Moreover, north of Detroit will be produced prototypes robocar GM's new generation on the base of Bolt EV electric
vehicle. Judging from the photos, they will be equipped with optical radar for detecting obstacles in the way of movement.
The decision to expand the geography test robocar GM's at the expense of Michigan is not accidental. Firstly, local authorities recently approved the final version of the rules governing such trials on public roads. Secondly, climatic conditions Michigan, unlike California and Arizona, allow testing automation at low temperatures and during a snowfall.
I must say that the Michigan government do not even require the presence of a driver behind the wheel of such a vehicle . Related Products :
