"Today's announcement is proof that we don't plan to cede that future to anyone else." "There's no place in the world more important for transportation's past, present and future than Detroit and Michigan," said Ford Executive Chairman Bill Ford. Similar ventures have been proposed in the U.S., but Winer said the Michigan project would be a first. In Beijing, some 206 miles (332 kilometers) of roads were formally assigned for testing in December. Six Chinese cities, including Beijing, have announced roads designated for tests of self-driving vehicles. Other countries are taking similar steps.
"For the full-scale implementation, which is enhanced public transit and greater speed, we'll need the barrier," Winer said in an interview. The project could start off running buses in regular traffic, but eventually they'll be on lanes separated from human-driven vehicles by a barrier, Winer said.
