Honda, Google talk possible partnership

Honda Motor is in talks with Google to install the tech company's self-driving systems in the automaker's vehicles. Honda says collaboration with the Google unit, called Waymo, would allow researchers to learn about the integration of sensors, software and computers. The automaker says that if a deal is reached, it will provide vehicles to Waymo that are modified to handle the technology. The Honda cars would join Waymo's fleet, which already includes Lexus SUVs and Chrysler Pacifica minivans.
