Google’s self-driving car to be equipped with LG battery
By Korea HeraldPublished : Jan. 16, 2015 - 20:21
LG Electronics Inc. said Thursday it will supply battery packs to the self-driving cars to be launched by Google, a move that will certainly help South Korea’s No. 2 tech giant tap deeper into the automobile industry.
“We have been conducting various projects with Google as a strategic partner. Our automotive technology will now be applied to Google’s self-driving cars,” an LG official said.
A battery pack is a set of any number of individual battery cells.
Google said it will also partner with U.S. automaker General Motors, Japan’s Toyota Motor, Germany’s Volkswagen and Daimler, and join forces with chipmaker Nvidia Corp. and German automotive technology giant Bosch as well.
Earlier this month, LG said its chief has discussed possible business tie-ups with the head of Mercedes-Benz. The company launched the Vehicle Components Division by regrouping its business sectors in 2013 in line with its efforts to tap new sources of profits. (Yonhap)
