Volkswagon is expanding its autonomous vehicle lab in Silicon Valley

Says this link:

Volkswagen is expanding its Silicon Valley lab where researchers "design the cars of the future" — including driverless race cars and vehicles that talk to one another.

Volkswagen of America has submitted plans to move its Electronics Research Laboratory from Palo Alto to a much larger 157,000-square-foot empty office building in Belmont. Once there, they plan to expand the work force from about 40 engineers and scientists to more than 65, with the vision of surpassing a staff of 100.
Initially, the company will take up 40,000 square feet of space and will move by the end of the year, Executive Director Burkhard Huhnke said Monday.
The lab has simply outgrown its current office in the Palo Alto hills, Huhnke said. In addition to an expanding work force, the company needs more space for infrastructure to build prototypes of vehicles that, if successful, will one day hit the market.

I probably should create a separate blog for autonomous vehicle technology.
