WAYMO AND JAGUAR LAND ROVER ANNOUNCE LONG-TERM PARTNERSHIP, BEGINNING WITH SELF-DRIVING JAGUAR I-PACE

  • Jaguar #ipace will be the first premium self-driving electric vehicle in Waymo’s fleet
  • First #waymo self-driving #ipace will start tests in 2018, and become part of Waymo’s driverless fleet from 2020
  • Up to 20,000 vehicles to join Waymo’s fleet in the first two years of production
  • Jaguar Land Rover and #waymo to explore other future collaborations

Jaguar Land Rover and #waymo today announce a long-term strategic #partnership. Together, the two companies will develop the world’s first premium self-driving electric vehicle for Waymo’s driverless transportation service.

Jaguar Land Rover and #waymo (formerly Google self-driving car project) will work together to design and engineer self-driving #Jaguar #ipace vehicles. This long-term strategic collaboration will further #waymo and #Jaguar Land Rover’s shared goals: to make cars safer, free up people’s valuable time and improve mobility for everyone.

Waymo #Jaguar I-PACEs, equipped with Waymo's self-driving technology, will start testing later this year. On-road testing and capturing real-world data will allow #waymo and #Jaguar Land Rover engineers to refine technology and deliver optimum safety and reliability. Up to 20,000 I-PACEs will be built in the first two years of production and be available for riders of Waymo’s driverless service, serving a potential one million trips per day.

The #Jaguar #ipace was launched earlier this month and is the company’s first full-electric #SUV. It is all-new from the ground up and is a no compromise, desirable and practical electric performance car. #Jaguar Land Rover is committed to investing heavily, becoming #automotive leaders in autonomous, connected and future electrified technologies. 

To date, #waymo is the only company with a fleet of fully self-driving cars — with no one in the front seat — on public roads. Later this year #waymo will launch the world’s first self-driving transportation service allowing members of the public to use Waymo’s app to request a vehicle.
