GM is looking to leapfrog its competitors in the autonomous driving space by deploying a larger fleet of cars than any of them \u2014 perhaps as many as 300, according to documents obtained by IEEE Spectrum<\/a>.<\/p>\n

An admirable bit of digging on some FCC applications showed an application to deploy 3,000 vehicular radar units, with 10 units per vehicle. Shortly thereafter, GM filed a request to deploy the same type of radar, though it declined to indicate how many. And after that<\/em>, Bosch applied to test a different radar, with 650 units covering up to 162 vehicles, though it wouldn\u2019t say for whom.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, Bosch did indicate where<\/em> it would be deploying its radars: Detroit, San Francisco, and Scottsdale. GM subsidiary Cruise Automation<\/a> is the only company that tests in all those locations.<\/p>\n

While the exact number is unclear \u2014 there could be a mix of the two radar types on each vehicle, and some devices may also be spare parts. But even a conservative estimate puts it well ahead of competitors at least in terms of sheer numbers of test vehicles on the road.<\/p>\n

The FCC has yet to grant the special license for these vehicles and devices to operate, so it may be a while before they are deployed.<\/p>\n
