Waymo's new hub—built from the ground up—is a $10 million investment in Lancaster that will bring "hundreds of jobs" to the community, a Waymo exec announced at its opening last week.
"This operation and Waymo's investment in the region further cements Dallas-Fort Worth as the home to autonomous vehicles in the U.S.," added Duane Dankesreiter, SVP for research and innovation at the Dallas Regional Chamber.
Planning and operations in the Mobility Innovation Zone require a consistent and reliable connection throughout the whole journey of each tested vehicle—whether it's a self-driving truck or a delivery drone dropping test packages. Ericsson Routes, an incubation unit within Ericsson, offers Waze-like connectivity predictions for planned routes and journeys.
NCTCOG's Regional Transportation Council believes autonomous vehicles are part of the solution to North Texas' future.
From autonomous parking at DFW airport to self-driving DART shuttles to medication deliveries in McKinney—along with local hubs for Kodiak Robotics, Aurora, and TuSimple—the region could prove to be the "most robust, automated, and connected vehicle ecosystem in the country," says one official.
NASA is looking to shape the future of flight, and Bell is on board. Its drone was able to successfully detect and avoid other objects in the airspace while integrating with its ground-based radar surveillance system. Bell says the flight test will aid in expanding the industry, as things like drone delivery services and air taxi companies mature.
TuSimple's expansion in the AllianceTexas Mobility Innovation Zone will allow the driverless tech trucker to connect its cross-country freight corridor and add new autonomous operations within the “Texas Triangle.”
