Google and Ford to build Self-Driving Cars

In the deal, which has not yet been announced, Google will provide the software, while Ford will offer its manpower and its factories to build cars.

Google has always stated that it is looking for partners. The software it has developed has been tested in several cars by companies such as: Lexus, Audi and several Toyota models. From the beginning, Gogle has shown more interest in the development of AI software, despite the construction of cars.

So with the upcoming agreement, Google will now become an integral part of the improvement of auto-running software and Ford's manufacturing of vehicles.

Note that Google has been testing self-guided vehicles for many years, in California and Texas, which have already traveled more than 1,3 million miles. Up to now, Google has 53 self-propelled original cars.

The agreement between Google and Ford seems meaningful due to the four links between the two companies: 1. Google's project leader, John Krafcik, worked at Ford for 14 years,
2. former Ford CEO Alan Mulally took part in the Google Board last year,
3. Roush Industries, the company that makes the cars that Google is also a supplier to Ford,
and 4. most of Google's employees in the project with self-propelled vehicles also worked on Ford.

Meanwhile, sources from the inside report that self-propelled vehicles will be used for a taxi drive as they do not need a driver in major US cities.

Η Google-Ford is expected to be announced at the Consumer Electronics Show in January in Las Vegas.
