這是Chrysler與google分拆出來的自動駕駛車公司Waymo所合作開發的完全無人駕駛車

動力是混和動力，有著16kWh的電池、純電行駛里程則有33miles

從照片上可以看到他是採取對開車門的設計(或是滑門？不確定)

應該是五人座或者七人座的MPV

外觀上還是能看到一堆傳感器，看起來還不是那麼協調

尤其是頭上那顆要價八萬美金的LiDAR，有點突兀

讓我覺得有點奇怪的是為什麼不用全電動而是混動

是因為Chrysler的電動車技術還不成熟嗎？

Chrysler and Waymo unveil the design of first fully self-driving electric
Chrysler Pacifica; 100 of them produced for test fleet

In October, we got our first look through spy shots at the Chrysler
Pacifica minivans that Google has been outfitting with its self-driving
technology. Today, Chrysler and Waymo, the new Alphabet company created
out of Google’s self-driving effort, have officially unveiled the final
design of a Chrysler Pacifica with self-driving hardware.

When announcing Waymo last week, John Krafcik, Google’s lead on
self-driving and now Chief Executive Officer of Waymo, said that the new
company will focus on integrating its technology to vehicles made by
automakers instead of developing its own vehicles.

The Chrysler Pacifica is the first example.

It’s interesting that they also chose the first plug-in minivan.
Chrysler produced the first 100 vehicles for Waymo’s test fleet with the
Chrysler Pacifica hybrid, which is equipped with a 16 kWh battery pack
allowing for an all-electric range of 33 miles.

In a press release, Chrysler wrote that the vehicles have been “uniquely
built” to receive the self-driving hardware, but Waymo is the one
installing the sensors, which is reportedly currently underway.

Krafcik commented:

“The Pacifica Hybrid will be a great addition to our fully self-driving
test fleet. FCA’s product development and manufacturing teams have been
agile partners, enabling us to go from program kickoff to full vehicle
assembly in just six months. They’ve been great partners, and we look
forward to continued teamwork with them as we move into 2017.”

The overall integration is far from seamless, but we have seen worse when
it comes to self-driving sensor integration.
