Fiat Chrysler is supplying Alphabet's self-driving vehicle division, Waymo, with thousands of North America hybrid minivans. Waymo is launching a ride-hailing service in Phoenix this year with plans to expand it to other cities, and is testing self-driving vehicles in 25 cities, the latest being Atlanta. Fiat Chrysler previously supplied Waymo with 100 North America minivans for testing in 2016 and a further 500 in 2017. The deal for the additional vehicles followed Uber's November announcement that it would buy up to 24,000 self-driving cars from Volvo and General Motors' January announcement that it was awaiting approval for a fully autonomous car.
