Self-Driving Picture Getting Clearer

AutoNation to partner with Waymo to service their autonomous vehicles

Google's Waymo also partnering with Avis, Lyft, and Chrysler

The self-driving picture is getting clearer. Most likely our first experience with driverless vehicles will be on a ridesharing platform like Lyft or via a rental car company. What's more, it will likely be in a Chrysler Pacifica.

Experts believe Google is leading the way in fully autonomous vehicles. And it looks like it is putting the final touches on partnerships that will make the whole system work. It has just reached a deal with AutoNation to service its fleet of self-drivers. This follows other partnerships with the likes of Lyft, Avis, and Chrysler. From CNBC
