Investment decisions in research and development include risks due to the uncertainty if the developed technology reaches market readiness and generates profit. Testing of Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs) is evolving quickly along the progress that is made in the fields of sensor technologies, computer vision, artificial intelligence, and control engineering. Open and manufacturer-specific proving ground owners need to prioritize their investments in infrastructure to test CAVs in order to increase their performance (i.e. profit, gain of knowledge, usability, and customer satisfaction). This theoretical paper elaborates on attributes proving ground owners could consider for investment decisions. These attributes are the increase in the proving ground's versatility, the adaptability, the rate of return, external costs, the date of requirement, and the importance of tests, which the infrastructure enables.
