Abstract

Millbrook has officially opened it's autonomous village,  which has been built to support the development of connected and autonomous vehicles.

The purpose built workshops are constructed to support mechanical, integration and software development, for self-driving vehicles, for passenger cars to buses.

We visited to find out what's involved in setting up a facility like this, and to find out why car manufacturers might need it.
