Soccer moms and carpool dads may be the next market for autonomous vehicles.

Google and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) have partnered to integrate self-driving software into 2017 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid minivans.

This marks the first time Google's Self-Driving Car Project has worked directly with an automaker to integrate its sensors and software into a passenger vehicle, FCA says. The company will initially design and engineer about 100 vehicles, into which Google will integrate a suite of sensors and computers needed to navigate roads autonomously.

Shared responsibilities are being carried out at a facility in Michigan, where the companies will design and manufacture the first self-driving Chrysler Pacificas.

"The opportunity to work closely with FCA engineers will accelerate our efforts to develop a fully self-driving car that will make our roads safer and bring everyday destinations within reach for those who cannot drive," John Krafcik, CEO of the Google Self-Driving Car Project, said in a statement.

The souped-up minivans should be ready "later this year" for testing, first on a private test track in California and then on public roads.

"The experience both companies gain will be fundamental to delivering automotive technology solutions that ultimately have far-reaching consumer benefits," Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne said.

The Google Self-Driving Car Project's test fleet has self-driven more than 1.5 million miles on public roads; they are currently motoring around California, Texas, Washington, and Arizona.

But there remains one major hurdle for autonomous technology: federal regulations—or lack thereof.

Google, with the help of other tech titans and vehicle manufacturers, is fighting for national self-driving car standards. And it seems to have the ear of the government. Earlier this year, U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx announced a nearly $4 billion, 10-year plan to "accelerate the development and adoption of safe vehicle automation through real-world pilot projects." The investment is part of President Obama's plan to build a "21st century transportation system."
