Testing autonomous vehicles presents some challenges. You want to drive them on the roads we use every day, but you don’t want to risk any car or person in the process. Honda found an innovative new way to safely test their autonomous vehicles. In order to get the full testing experience, they’ve transformed a Naval base into “GoMentum Station,” a five-acre town that was once home to military personnel and their family but has since been abandoned. GoMentum Station allows Honda autonomous vehicles to experience 20 different road types, with buildings and intersections that closely mimic real-world situations.

We can’t wait to see these vehicles on the road. Until then, check out our New Honda Vehicles which feature advanced driver-assistance safety technologies that will make you feel like you’re driving an autonomous car!
