This supporting infrastructure may include 5G wireless communications networks, advanced traffic signal control systems, upgraded streetlights, and more. A significant amount of supporting infrastructure will be needed to accommodate a future of autonomous vehicles.
The city is open to a wide range of high-tech vehicle research. Planning for the Chula Vista Mobility Hub project is underway, with an in-depth workshop planned for Winter 2019. One major project of the San Diego RPG is the Chula Vista Mobility Hub, which will explore the concept of combining multiple modes of transportation - bicycles, autonomous vehicles, bus transit, electric vehicle charging, on-demand rideshare, etc. While autonomous vehicles can be tested and deployed anywhere in the state of California with appropriate permits from the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), San Diego RPG affiliates have streamlined access to local agency officials and receive expedited permitting for select City of Chula Vista and Caltrans road closures and equipment installations. The San Diego RPG is driven by a consortium of industry affiliates and academic partners. The RPG includes local streets and roads in Chula Vista, state Route 125 and Interstate 15. The region was recognized for its ability to demonstrate safety planning, willingness to share information with industry and government partners, and commitment to compliance with all applicable laws, regulations and policies.Ĭhula Vista has worked with the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) and California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to establish the San Diego Regional Proving Ground (RPG), intended to be a real-world laboratory for validating autonomous vehicle technology. Department of Transportation designated Chula Vista and the broader San Diego region as one of 10 Autonomous Vehicle Proving Grounds in the U.S., and one of only two in the state of California.
