Probably, Millhaven is a short track, and it's not on Regional property. If it were me, I'd want to do it here. The plan has always been to do it here.

The real issue is the complete system testing, which is probably more complex than I imagine and could still uncover problems that need correction.
Uh, have you done all the math and run the numbers on that, that you can factually say that? (Honestly just wondering)
Thanks for the Millhaven information, that makes sense. Back and forth all day on a short track would be very tedious and is pretty different from operational use anyway.
I believe I’ve seen 600km being given as a number for how far each vehicle needs to be driven for burn-in. Assuming that is correct, we need something like 20 round trips of the system or about 30 hours of driving. That is less than a full week of service so I would say that running phantom service for a week would be plenty. Of course if my number for how much distance is needed for burn-in is wrong, then my estimate will also be wrong.
