Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV has partnered with California startup Aurora Innovation Inc. to create and market self-driving commercial vehicles.
The companies plan to marry Aurora’s autonomous-driving platform with FCA’s light-duty commercial vehicles. The partners offered no details about the value of their agreement, when it aims to go to market or how many vehicles will be involved.
Aurora secured $530 million in second-round funding in February, which valued the 3-year-old company at $2.5 billion. Aurora has already partnered with Hyundai, Volkswagen and China’s Future Mobility Corp.

Mustang Changes for 2018
On Tuesday Ford unveiled—using the social media channels of actor Dwayne Johnson (this has got to unnerve some of the auto buff book editors)—the 2018 Mustang, which has undergone some modifications: under the hood (the 3.7-liter V6 is giving way to a 2.3-liter EcoBoost four, and a 10-speed automatic is available), on the dash (a 12-inch, all-digital LCD screen is available for the dashboard), at the tires (12 wheel choices), on the chassis (MagneRide damper technology is being offered with the Mustang Performance Package), and on the exterior (three new paint colors). And while on the subject of the exterior, there are some notable changes—a lower, remodeled hood, repositioned hood vents, new upper and lower front grilles, LED front lights, revised LED taillamps, new rear bumper and fascia.
