The University of Connecticut could become home to the first driverless-vehicle testing facility on the East Coast.
The Hartford Business Journal reports there is a proposal to transform UConn’s campus in Mansfield, and the abandoned Bergin Correctional Institution across the street, into an autonomous-vehicle testing facility.
The paper reports a prospective investor has tentatively offered up to $20 million to build the test center.
UConn officials say they aren’t backing the project yet, but will consider it.
