The $135 million first phase of the 500-acre site has an operations center, customer garages, a 700-foot curved tunnel, intersections, roundabouts, two double overpasses and a 2.5-mile freeway loop with on- and off-ramps.
Subsequent phases of the ACM will create urban, rural, residential, commercial and off-road test areas and set up systems to test cellular connectivity and cybersecurity.
