Honda, Google tie up to develop self-driving car www3.nhk.or.jp
Japanese auto firm Honda says it is planning to conduct a joint study with a US affiliate of IT giant Google to develop self-driving car technology.
Honda plans to equip its products with sensors and software developed by Waymo and conduct test-runs on highways in the United States.
Honda has been developing the technology almost entirely on its own. It wants to take the lead in global competition by linking up with Google, which has advanced IT technology.
Google has already been cooperating with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. Tie-ups with auto companies would give Google potential dominance in the area of self-driving software.
The tie-up is likely to accelerate competition with Toyota, Nissan, and other firms in the development of self-driving car technology.
