Google and Fiat Chrysler are teaming up to make self-driving cars
Chrysler
Fiat Chrysler will be providing about 100 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid minivans for Google to modify its autonomous car tech onto and use for testing purposes.
The addition of nearly 100 Pacifica Hybrids will more than double Google's already-existing autonomous car test fleet. Google anticipates that it'll be able to begin rolling out these Pacifica test vehicles by the end of 2016.
This partnership will be the first time Google has teamed up with automaker to build its test vehicles.
Computers and sensors will be added to the Pacificas by Google to make the full self-driving systems fully functional.
Google said in a press release that the fact that the Pacifica is a larger vehicle is helpful because it gives them "an opportunity to test a larger vehicle that could be easier for passengers to enter and exit, particularly with features like hands-free sliding doors."
