Silicon Valley Giants Looking For New Lands To Test Their Autonomous Vehicles

Apple is looking for a large expanse of real estate in the San Francisco Bay Area and the company interested in an 800,000 square foot piece of land suitable for carrying out Project Titan. Victor Coleman CEO of Hudson Pacific Properties explained that silicon valley giant and automobile companies want space in Silicon Valley to conduct tests on their autonomous cars. Companies such as Tesla, BMW, Ford, and Mercedes are also looking for new additional locations. Google bought a 400,000 sq ft area that they have been showing an interest in.

Investment is increasing on a regular basis, and it is at a time when there is the embracing of various forms of automation by some automotive manufacturers. Tesla is one company that enabled automatic lane switching and as soon as possible after 2018, Ford want to introduce auto-parking into the cars that they produce. The additional R&D testing could lead to the government agreeing to quicker approval for autonomous vehicles. It will also be the chance for Apple and Google to test out cars they are producing in what is an entirely controlled condition.

It is accepted that 800,000 square feet is not a massive plot, but is big enough for requirements. Apple has 2.8 million sq ft for the Campus 2 and despite already having 100 autonomous cars in use, Alphabet is looking for a further 400,000 square feet.
