The Ohio state authorities (United States) have opened a
540-acre autonomous vehicle (AV) testing centre, SMARTCenter,
reports the Dayton Daily News. The facility includes a
1.2-mile, six-lane intersection to simulate real-world scenarios,
allowing companies to test their AVs and equipment before deploying
them on the public roads.
Significance: Ohio state is increasingly
exploring the application of autonomous driving technology by
participating in various projects. One of these projects is
DriveOhio, an AV pilot programme created by Ohio governor John
Richard Kasich Jr, and agreements have been signed with cities in
the state including Dublin, Columbus, Athens, and Marysville. In
addition, other cities in the state have expressed an interest in
participating in the programme. The programme serves as a platform
for researchers, developers, and manufacturers, and links private
industries with the cities that are interested in serving as test
sites for testing and collaborating on self-driving vehicle
technologies.
