BMW now wants to test highly automated driving and automated parking in the Czech town of Sokolov, alongside other locations. Suitable tracks have been created on a 600-hectare former mining site. Among other things, they allow the testing of highly autonomous driving at Level 4 in urban areas, rural areas, and on highways. The test modules are driven through one after the other without stopping, which is supposed to make it more realistic.
BMW wants to complement the results of virtual simulations with this real-world testing, which is also part of the development program for new vehicles. The "Future Mobility Development Center" (FMDC) supplements the already used testing grounds in Aschheim near Munich, Miramas in France, and Arjeplog in Northern Sweden.
The approximately 100 new jobs in Sokolov were established on a fallow area. For this, approximately 2.2 million cubic meters of soil were moved. Rainwater is collected there and used for watering the tracks. Amphibian guide systems are intended to provide a safe passage for crawling animals over the test track, as the Munich car manufacturers proudly write.
What does this mean?
Real-world testing is indispensable in the automotive industry. It is unfortunate that these tests also have to relocate to countries with lower labor costs, partly because building land around the German BMW plants has become extremely expensive.
