Waymo is teaming up with Jaguar Land Rover on autonomous vehicles, its second major automaker partnership and a big boost for the nascent technology that has come under scrutiny recently.
Under the accord, Alphabet Inc.’s Waymo will integrate its self-driving system into Jaguar’s I-Pace electric SUVs, the first all-electric offering from the luxury unit of Tata Motors Ltd. Jaguar will start delivering I-Paces to Waymo for testing starting in 2018. Starting in 2020, as many as 20,000 of the vehicles will join Waymo’s ride-hailing taxi service.
