YPSILANTI, Mich. – The American Center for Mobility hopes to become the epicenter of autonomous vehicle development, and it took a major step forward Monday. It will spring from the old Willow Run auto plant to become a one-of-a-kind testing center. Workers broke ground on the site Monday, and Local 4 toured it with one of the people who wants to see the future invented on the site. An abandoned triple-decker bridge is ideal for the simulated highway loop. They expect to have the highway test loop completed by December 2017, which means the next tour might be given without a driver behind the wheel.
