  • Self-driving car, enhanced by Google and FCA? Sounds good to me!

    2017 Chrysler Pacifica HybridThe Google Self-Driving Car Project and FCA announced that the advanced Google technology will be incorporated into the all-new 2017 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid minivan to expand and improve Google’s self-driving test project. As you might know, this is the first time that Google chooses to work directly with an automaker in order to deliver technologies and advanced systems.

    Engineering responsibilities will be further shared on each brand’s respective expertise. FCA will design and engineer 100 vehicles exclusively for Google’s systems, while the Internet giant will integrate the suite of sensor and computers into these cars.

    Both brands will also co-locate part of their engineering teams at a special place in Michigan in order to accelerate the design, tests and manufacturing of the autonomous Chrysler Pacifica.

Luckily, collaborations as this one will bring us next generation of vehicles and technologies that will prevent road accidents and fatal injuries.
