Waymo and Jaguar will test self-driving I-Pace SUVs later this year

Waymo is adding a luxury vehicle to its fleet of self-driving test vehicles, the upcoming I-Pace EV. At an event ahead of the New York Auto Show, the two companies announced that testing of the I-Pace outfitted with Waymo's autonomous technology will be on public roads later this year in Phoenix, Arizona. The two companies expect the electric SUV to be part of the full Waymo fleet in 2020. In the first two years of production, up to 20,000 I-Pace vehicles will join the Alphabet Inc company's driverless service which is expected to launch later this year and will give the public the opportunity to book rides in the driverless cars. The I-Pace will be the sixth vehicle in the Waymo fleet.
