In April this year, Google self-driving affiliate Waymo announced that it would be opening the world’s first factory dedicated to the mass production of autonomous vehicles in Detroit. It had an ambitious timeline of mid-2019. Waymo CEO John Krafcik said Monday at the Forbes 30 Under 30 Summit held in Detroit that his company, along with Canadian auto supplier Magna, have begun integrating its autonomous driver technology into Chrysler Pacifica hybrid minivans and electric Jaguar I-PAC SUVs. He made similar statements in September at the IAA Frankfurt auto show.
