It's official: Google self-driving tech will debut in a future Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid

Stop the presses on this one: Google is going to start working with Chrysler on their new Pacifica mini-van. The plan is to test a fleet of the 2017 model for now and have the technology integrated into the vehicle, not just as an aftermarket proof of concept. There will be a future version of the Chrysler Pacifica that has the self-driving tech. This is the first time, according to Chrysler, that Google has integrated sensors and software into a passenger car for consumer use in a future model, not just as a test in a current passenger car. One of the most surprising moves is that both engineering teams will co-locate in Michigan to work together and design the technology for eventual consumer use.
