So far, Honda and Mercedes-Benz are two of the companies that will test on the site. The station is an attractive location for such testing, the San Jose Mercury News reported, because it contains an environment that closely simulates that which is found on roadways throughout the nation, like railroad crossings, parking lots, curved roadways, tunnels and streets with a grid structure.
The Navy assigned control of the site to the city through a master use license that will permit up to five automakers and 15 other companies to use the property for testing. The project's duration will be determined by the city based on the progress of testing.
