"Ford said it is the first auto maker to make autonomous vehicles a major part of its durability testing. It has barred human drivers from three routes at its Michigan Proving Ground north of Detroit and plans to use the technology significantly more there and at its other test tracks.
About three-quarters of Ford's durability testing can now be done without human drivers, using either robots or dynamometers, said Dave Payne, the company's manager of vehicle development operations."
