Abstract:	We discuss the case for using the Next Generation Very Large Array both to discover new black hole X-ray binaries astrometrically, and to characterize them. We anticipate that the ngVLA will be able to find ∼100 new black hole X-ray binaries, as well as a host of other interesting radio stars, in a few hundred hour survey. Parallax and astrometric wobble measurements will be achievable in feasible follow-up surveys especially using long baseline capabilities. The ngVLA's high angular resolution, high survey speed, and high frequency sensitivity give it a unique range of parameter space over which it is sensitive.
