Google Opening Self-Driving Center in Michigan - Dice Insights

Google plans on opening a research and development center in Novi, Michigan, just outside of Detroit. Or to put it another way: more self-driving cars are heading to Motor City. "Many of our current partners are based here," read a note on the Google page for Google's Self-Driving Car Project, "so having a local facility will help us collaborate more easily and access Michigan's top talent in vehicle development and engineering." Based on the photo above, though, it seems pretty empty at the moment. Google claims Rousch, Bosch, Continental, FRIMO, LG Electronics, Prefix, and RCO among its partners on the self-driving car project.
