FCA: expands partnership with Alphabet unit Waymo

(CercleFinance.com) - Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is taking steps to strengthen its autonomous driving technology partnership with Waymo, Alphabet's driverless-car unit.


Waymo will now work exclusively with FCA as its preferred partner for the development and testing of light commercial vehicles, initially targeting the integration of its Waymo Driver self-driving technology into a Ram-branded van, the Italo-American carmaker said.

FCA also has selected Waymo as its exclusive, strategic partner for level-4 autonomous technology across its fleet, and has already started to work with Waymo to imagine future products, it said.

For the record, FCA became Waymo's first automotive manufacturer (OEM) partner in 2016.
