Someday soon, it’ll be time to make way for the fleet of Waymo’s self-driving… minivans? Wait, way who? Yes WayMo, Google’s newly independent self-driving car division. WayMo has partnered up with Chrysler/Fiat to outfit 100 Chrysler Pacifica minivans that will begin prowling the streets next year. The modified vans have a streamlined roof pod that holds LIDAR, cameras and other sensors.
The minivans will have all undergone extensive testing prior to deployment, and Chrysler says the fleet will continue to gather data on how self-driving cars behave under severe weather and traffic conditions. Both ford and GM also have plans to test fleets of robocars as the self-driving race heats up in the USA.
