Google Waymo to Replace Driverless Prototype with Minivan

(Original title: Waymo will replace its driverless prototype with a minivan)

Google announced its first prototype of a driverless car in 2014. According to foreign media reports, an independent company, Waymo, which was split from the Google Unmanned Vehicles project on Monday afternoon, announced in a blog post that it was time to "retire our Fireflies team" - their small driverless prototype. Waymo chose to integrate drone technology into other vehicles such as the Chrysler Pacifica minivan.

Waymo executives wrote: “By focusing on mass-produced vehicles such as the Pacifica minivan, we will be able to bring more drones to more people faster.” Waymo also stated that it focuses on mass-produced vehicles. This opened up more testing opportunities because the Fireflie prototype was limited to 25 mph (about 40 km/h) on public roads.

This decision also shows that Google will not produce its own vehicles, compete with automakers, but focus on selling driverless technology to any interested automaker.
