The head of Google‘s self-driving vehicle project stated the company would certainly “need a lot of assistance” to bring a vehicle to market, in the current indication it has participated in a strenuous look for a typical carmaker partner.
John Krafcik made the statement during a presentation at the annual Automotive News conference in Detroit, the heart of the traditional US motor market, whose business some analysts have actually forecasted the business can overturn.
“The message is that we recognize. we are visiting need a lot of help in the next stage of our job,” Mr Krafcik stated. “We’re going to be partnering more and more and also a lot more– you could trust it, though I do not have anything specific to state today.”
Mr Krafcik’s comments adhere to a report from last year– which ended up being unfounded– that Google was about to authorize an agreement with Ford on creating self-driving cars. Mr Krafcik provided a non-committal solution when asked whether he had actually recently been in conferences in Detroit’s Renaissance Center, General Motors’ head office.
At the same time, Google on Tuesday countered at statistics that recommended its self-driving autos had actually experienced accidents often than those driven by humans.
