We visit Google’s private testing facility for self-driving cars

If Google’s self-driving cars have a school, this is it.

Stretched across 91 arid acres here in the central part of the state is Castle, the name derived from the former air base that occupied land that is now a private testing facility owned by Waymo, the autonomous car company run by search giant Google.

For the past five years, engineers and test drivers have been running dozens of cars through their paces in order to better prepare them for real-world scenarios of rude drivers and clumsy movers.
