Japan Automaker, Honda, is now in talks with Google for a collaboration that would further develop Google's self-driving car tech and to eventually make available self-driving cars in the market.

Waymo, Google parent Alphabet Inc.'s autonomous driving unit, is already in collaboration with Fiat Chrysler. This collaboration has already produced Waymo's recent self-driving car, a Fiat Chysler mini van.

The announced collaboration from the two companies came as no surprise as Honda has already been trying to develop its own self-driving car as early as 2015. This is in connection with its pronouncement that it is trying to make self-driving car available for the market by 2020. Although Honda has independently pursued in the past its own self-driving tech, the collaboration with Waymo is an indication that the car company could be looking at a different route in its goal to make available self-driving cars in the near future.

At a Waymo press event, Waymo CEO John Krafcik said that the company is getting closer to bringing the self-driving car tech to consumers.

The deal with Waymo and Honda, at this point, is mainly about research for the further development of the technology rather than an agreement for full production of fully autonomous vehicles. With the agreement, Honda agrees to supply Waymo with its automobiles to join the current fleet of vehicles currently being tested with the self-driving technology.

The deal with Honda marks Waymo's third deal with a car company concerning its self-driving car tech. These deals seem to confirm what pundits are saying that Waymo is currently looking at merely supplying the tech as more sensible than producing its own automobiles to put the tech in.

The agreement with different car companies is also said to be a response from Waymo amidst the growing pressure from other companies, like Tesla Motors Inc. and Uber Technologies Inc., in the race of developing fully autonomous vehicles.
