Fiat Chrysler and Google are teaming up for a self-driving vehicle project.
The automaker is equipping 100 Chrysler Pacifica minivans with Google's autonomous vehicle technology.
The Google Self-Driving Car Project and FCA announced today, in a first-of-its-kind collaboration, that they will integrate Google’s self-driving technology into all-new 2017 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid minivans to expand Google’s existing self-driving test program.
The Windsor-built Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid minivans will be used later this year for Google’s self-driving testing, more than doubling Google’s current fleet of self-driving test vehicles.
FCA will initially design and engineer around 100 vehicles uniquely built for Google’s self-driving technology.
Both companies will co-locate part of their engineering teams at a facility in southeastern Michigan to accelerate the design, testing and manufacturing of the self-driving Chrysler Pacifica.
