Google Reportedly Partnering With Ford To Mass Produce Self-driving Cars by safo99(m): 8:33am On Dec 22, 2015 |
Google and Ford are coming together to form a joint
venture that will focus on manufacturing of
autonomous vehicles, according to a new report. The
partnership between the companies will be
announced at the upcoming CES event in January.
As per the report, the new company would be legally
separate from Ford, so that there are no liability
concerns for the automaker. Also, the deal between
the two companies would be non-exclusive.
"We have been and will continue working with many
companies and discussing a variety of subjects
related to our Ford Smart Mobility plan," said a Ford
spokesperson when asked to comment on the
matter. Google, on the other hand, declined to
comment.
This comes over a few months after automotive
veteran John Krafcik became the first CEO of Google's
self-driving car project. While at that time the
Mountain View, California-based company clearly
stated that the project is not becoming an
independent company under Alphabet, recent
reports have suggested the possibility of that
happening in 2016. |
