Google and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles have confirmed widespread reports last week that they are collaborating on a fleet of self-driving test vehicles.
Google will outfit about 100 specially prepared 2017 model Chrysler Pacifica minivans with the company’s latest self-driving system. Google says the aim is to determine how to create a fully self-driving car.
The Pacifica will be the largest test vehicle Google has used to date. The project also marks the first time the company has worked directly with a carmaker on its autonomous car program.
The first of the specially outfitted minivans is expected to hit the road by the end of this year. Google currently is testing its self-driving technologies on public roads in Phoenix, Ariz.; Mountain View, Calif.; Austin, Tex.; and Kirkland, Wash.
