Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) has signed an exclusive deal with Waymo from Google parent Alphabet to collaborate on self-driving technology. The goal of the collaboration is to eventually build autonomous delivery vehicles.

The two companies will initially focus on integrating Waymo technology into the Ram ProMaster van. According to Fiat Chrysler CEO Mike Manley, the partnership will be the first to allow self-driving cars to drive on public roads in the real world. The FCA and Waymo deal lasts four years.

Google started developing technology in the field of self-driving cars in 2009. In late 2016, it continued that effort within a separate company called the Waymo.
