Mcity is the world's first full-scale simulated urban environment designed expressly for testing the performance and safety of connected, automated, and autonomous vehicles under controlled and realistic road conditions. It is a 32-acre outdoor laboratory for advanced mobility systems that includes network of roads with intersections, traffic signs and signals, streetlights, building facades, sidewalks and construction obstacles.
