Honda to test self-driving prototypes at former US naval base

ON THE ROAD TESTING: Honda said it will test prototype versions of its Acura RLX sedan, fitted with sensors and cameras that could be used on future self-driving vehicles.

DETROIT: Honda Motor Co has joined Daimler AG's Mercedes-Benz in testing self-driving vehicles and technologies on private roads at a former US naval facility outside San Francisco, the Japanese automaker said. 

Honda also is a partner in the University of Michigan's Mobility Transformation Centre, which plans to open a similar testing facility called Mcity this summer in Ann Arbor.
