Ann Arbor is a pretty good idea for testing real world conditions of autonomous cars. A prior project in that city called Connected Vehicle Proving Grounds was not able to gather much momentum or paying customers. With the catchy title of self-driving, marketing savvy may prove a site like this will be good for interoperability testing if the millions of funding can be captured from future customers.
