据国外媒体报道，在德国慕尼黑附近的Unterschleissheim地区，宝马已经单独建立了一个全新的自动驾驶研发中心及工厂，帮助公司开发高度自动驾驶系统。

According to foreign media reports, in Munich, Germany near Unterschleissheim region, BMW alone had established a new automated driving r&d center and factory, to help companies to develop highly automated driving system.

负责开发的宝马集团管理委员会成员Klaus Frhlich表示：“这非常重要，因为自动驾驶会改变汽车行业的未来。我们的目标是在该工厂建设试点项目，宝马将在这里构建自动驾驶技术的基石。”宝马这家新工厂将与其位于加州山景城的研发办公室合并，共同帮助宝马奠定在自动驾驶领域的地位。两个办公室和工厂都会通过实地及模拟系统进行测试，目前宝马已经在美国投放了三辆自动驾驶测试车。

Klaus Frhlich, a member of the BMW group management committee, which is responsible for the development, said: "this is very important because autonomous driving will change the future of the auto industry. Our goal is to build pilot projects in the factory where BMW will build the cornerstone of autonomous driving technology. The new plant will merge with its research and development office in mountain view, calif., to help BMW lay the groundwork for autonomous driving. Both offices and factories will be tested on the ground and in the simulation system, and BMW has already launched three self-driving test vehicles in the United States.

这些测试车辆在测试的同时都会不断收集数据，帮助汽车制造商对更多的场景进行分析。到2018年，宝马计划在美国投入40辆测试车，在全球范围的测试车总数将达到80辆。除了美国之外，宝马还将在中国、以色列和德国等国家进行测试。

These test vehicles collect data as they test, helping automakers analyze more scenarios. By 2018, BMW plans to invest 40 test cars in the United States, and the total number of test vehicles worldwide will reach 80. In addition to the us, BMW will also test in countries such as China, Israel and Germany.

除了在现实世界进行测试之外，宝马还会使用模拟软件来训练自己的自动驾驶系统。

In addition to testing in the real world, BMW will use simulation software to train its own autopilot system.
