Stellantis CEO says there’s still life in Waymo deal for self-driving delivery vans


Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares said the automaker is working to deepen its partnership with autonomous vehicle company Waymo.

This “deepened” partnership will focus on commercial self-driving Ram delivery vans, a target that was first announced in 2020 and promptly faded from public view. Tavares’ comments suggest the company has more than a passing interest in reviving a deal that appeared destined to fizzle out as so many other autonomous vehicle-OEM partnerships have in the past two years. Under the deal, Fiat Chrysler — now known as Stellantis — would handle the manufacturing and provide Waymo with minivans that built in redundancies designed for autonomous driving.
