The Toyota Research Institute (TRI) is now testing its Platform 2.1 autonomous driving system at California’s GoMentum Station.
“GoMentum Station augments TRI’s public road testing with testing of extreme driving events that are unsafe to conduct on public roads. GoMentum’s varied terrain, and real-life infrastructure including roads, bridges, tunnels, intersections and parking lots provide the environment needed to accelerate testing of the ‘difficult miles’ needed to advance both Guardian and Chauffeur,” the company revealed.
The varied terrain, among other things, will help test Toyota’s approach of having two steering wheels to switch control between car and driver.
