Alphabet’s self-driving car division Waymo announced today (May 31) that it has ordered 62,000 Chrysler Pacifica minivans from Fiat Chrysler (FCA) as it looks to expand its autonomous-vehicle research into a commercialized ride-hailing service.

Waymo has been working with FCA since late 2016, when it was spun out as its own company under the Alphabet umbrella. Previously, it had been a research project within X, the company’s “moonshot factory,” where it used modified Lexus SUVs and its own adorable koala-shaped vehicles, which it’s been phasing out recently.
