WOLFSBURG, Germany - Volkswagen has not considered taking a minority investment in Google’s autonomous cars project Waymo, Chief Executive Herbert Diess said on Tuesday, adding that talks about developing self-driving cars with Ford continue. The German carmaker said developing self-driving cars requires investments amounting to a high single digit billion euros amount, costs that would better be shared with a potential partner.
“We are in good talks with Ford,” Diess said, adding that Volkswagen had been in talks with numerous potential partners, including Waymo. “The question is how do you make this technology safe, that is the key question,” Diess said, adding that getting regulatory approvals and convincing authorities that self-driving cars are safe are key questions guiding VW’s thinking on alliances.Reporting by Edward Taylor; Editing by Michelle Martin
