Waymo, the autonomous vehicle developer owned by Google's parent company, is set to announce a new partnership with Honda, according to reports. The company has been galloping ahead of its competitors despite recent disasters in the autonomous driving world. The two companies have been negotiating a collaboration since 2016, and are now close to a deal, according to Bloomberg. The project is thought to centre on developing a self-driving delivery vehicle, rather than passenger transportation. In an interview with Bloomberg in March, Google CEO Sundar Pichai said that he was "excited" about working with Honda for its own self-driving car project.
