A week after Google spun off its self-driving vehicle research to a new branch of its Alphabet parent company, Honda said Wednesday that it is in talks to license the technology.

Among the details of the planned collaboration include the delivery of Honda vehicles to Waymo that will be modified to integrate the self-driving technology. According to a report from Bloomberg, the two companies are in talks to put Waymo’s self-driving technology into Honda’s vehicles.

If a deal is reached with Honda, the vehicle maker’s R&D division could shift its focus to working out the finer points of integrating Waymo’s solution rather than developing its own complete self-driving platform.

Honda has also announced it has plans to deliver self-driving cars by 2020, which could lead to a great partnership since both companies have the same visions regarding self-driving cars. Waymo has already established such a partnership with Fiat Chrysler which has already supplied the company with 100 Chrysler Pacifica Minivan ready for testing.

The vans are a reminder of the intense interest from tech and auto companies to make autonomous vehicles a reality.

The collaboration would fit nicely into Honda’s vision of a collision-free world.

Honda, however, said any collaboration with Waymo did not mean it was abandoning efforts to develop its own autonomous driving system. It also said there was potential for “close” cooperation between Honda and Waymo engineers. “FCA’s product development and manufacturing teams have been agile partners, enabling us to go from program kickoff to full vehicle assembly in just six months”, says John Krafcik, CEO of Waymo.

“You’ve got Google, which is engaging with another automaker to apply its technology into different vehicles and different platforms”, said senior analyst Jeremy Carlson at researcher IHS Automotive.

In the official blog post, Honda mentions that it might work on a model similar to already signed up automobile partners.
