This landfill is planned to open in the next month, and he will take area of 1.4 square kilometers.
All of these test platforms will play an important role in the preparation of self-driving cars for use on public roads. Collected during these tests the data will help developers to ensure that such equipment meets all the necessary levels of security before you get on city streets.
