Google's parent company Alphabet announced last week it had spun off Google's self-driving cars division into a new company called Waymo.
And on Monday, Waymo CEO John Krafcik shared some info about the company's first car, a modified, self-driving Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid minivan.

But this is the first time we can actually see how the completed vehicle looks. According to Krafcik, the cars are equipped with Waymo's latest self-driving tech, which includes a "suite of updated sensors, all-new computer and other major system updates."

The report also claimed the two companies plan to launch a full electric version of the minivan at CES 2017, which takes place in Las Vegas in early January.
