DETROIT/PARIS - French automaker Renault SA, its Japanese partner Nissan Motor Co and tech giant Alphabet Inc’s Waymo are exploring a partnership to develop and use self-driving vehicles to transport people and goods in France and Japan, the companies said on Thursday.
The initial agreement among Waymo, Renault and Nissan aims to “develop a framework for deployment of mobility services at scale,” according to Hadi Zablit, Renault-Nissan Alliance business development chief. Physical testing of vehicles and deployment of services would come in later phases. The agreement is time-limited and exclusive in both countries, barring either side from working with competitors. Its duration was not disclosed.
Waymo late last year began offering a self-driving service in Arizona called Waymo One, but with a human monitor on board.
