Testing
TESTING FACILITIES:
Where does new, innovative technology go to be tested in a real-world environment? Curiosity Lab at Peachtree Corners is a living laboratory for the latest technology graduating from closed courses and settings.
The Lab includes a 5G-enabled 3-mile autonomous vehicle test track and smart city laboratory within an existing 500-acre technology park where thousands of people and vehicles interact with the track and its technology every day.
Testing Infrastructure is open to all technology companies from early-stage startups to Fortune 500 and there is no cost to test.
