I'm here at the workspace where earlier today we successfully completed the first open road testing of Infinium. After our initial tests in a North Campus parking lot this weekend where many of the team members got the chance to drive Infinium, we outfitted our lead and chase vehicles with hazard lights in preparation for public roads.
This morning we got out to the workspace early for all of the necessary safety checks and route preparations, and then our test driver Gerald Chang took the wheel as we rolled out onto Mansfield Road for for a few hours on the bumpiest road on earth (Mansfield Road). The test went off with only a few technical hiccups despite the rough road conditions, and according to Gerald, even on Mansfield the ride is pretty smooth and a ton of fun. Everyone else on the roads seemed pretty interested in the car, and we were able to count more than a few turned heads as we went by.
Check back after the unveiling for pictures of the test, I'm pretty sure some people snapped a few (I was occupied driving lead).
