I think FCA had not yet started to build an automatic driving team in house, so pairing up with Waymo would make sense and Waymo could push for a deal it though

I think FCA had not yet started to build an automatic driving team in house, so pairing up with Waymo would make sense and Waymo could push for a deal it thought worth making. Maybe Waymo got a non-exclusive deal, where other companies might have wanted some exclusive period with Waymo tech in their cars. Similar to what happens with cell phones.
