Waymo is coming for Tesla in a new deal with Jaguar

"Our ultimate goal is to provide a self-driving vehicle tailored to every trip and every purpose," said CEO John Krafcik on stage today at New York's Chelsea Piers. This year, Waymo will build out and begin testing self-driving I-Pace cars, but those vehicles won't become part of its fleet until 2020. This latest deal will no doubt sting Tesla, which has struggled with its autonomous technology. Tesla CEO Elon Musk, with his repeated showboating of his car's advanced assisted-driver capabilities, put pressure on automakers and other self-driving car outfits to build their technology quickly. But the company's competitors appear to be surpassing the unconventional electric car company. So far, Waymo has been building its technology into Chrysler Hybrid Pacifica minivans, a vehicle more geared toward families.
