Inside, Honda's self-driving car is tested
GoMentum Station is known as the headquarters of the test of new products, safety or self-propelled ability of the world's leading automaker.
The small town in a military base called Goentum Station is a test site for Honda's self-driving cars.
According to the description, this is a place to test the level of safety and the ability to commercialize automotive applications and self-driving vehicle technology.Built during World War II, GoMentum Station is the world's most secure and secure testing facility.
Unlike Google or Tesla, a self-driving car on the streets of Honda wants its products to be within security as well as to ensure safety for people.
The town is about 20 miles long with enough routes, intersections and infrastructure similar to many other places.The roads here are judged perfectly, without potholes, the visual separator plus low traffic and traffic.
In addition, Honda created a mannequin to participate in the testing process to calculate safety.
The testing of self-driving cars in urban areas with heavy traffic and traffic is a dangerous issue, which can cause unsafe for people.Therefore, this remote town is the best place for every Honda experiment.
Honda engineers simulate specific situations to check the safety of test models with dangerous situations that need to be handled quickly as suddenly someone crosses the street.
The cars in this uninhabited town are equipped with many sensors, cameras, graphics processors, navigation, radar, . help analyze the most accurate situations.
According to Jim Keller, chief engineer at Honda Research and Development Center, in the future, Goentum Station will be at the center of the world's autonomous vehicle tests.The company aims to introduce the first self-propelled model to market in 2020.
Before Honda, many documents of The Guardian leaked, Apple also contacted the US military to rent a test site for electric vehicles inside GoMentum Station.However, Apple representatives as well as GoMentum Station declined to comment on the information.
