Everyone is talking about self-driving vehicles. That said, it's no surprise that Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is on the fast-track to becoming a leader in the market thanks to its recent partnership with Silicon Valley leader, Google. The two brands will advance Google's self-driving technology and expand the minivan segment with a fleet of self-driving Chrysler Pacifica prototypes. Not only is this news beneficial to families who spend a majority of their day traveling to school, away games, study groups, the office, etc., but it could mean the future of ride-sharing services, like Uber. What better way to transport a group of people home from an event than an autonomous Uber or Lyft?
The project is expected to ramp up later this year. We really can't wait to see what's to come from this partnership. While we all wait not-so-patiently, come visit our El Paso, Texas showroom for a test drive in the new 2017 Chrysler Pacifica.
