Google parent Alphabet Inc. has agreed to purchase 100 minivans from Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV for testing the Silicon Valley giant's driverless-car technology, according to a person familiar with the deal.

Fiat Chrysler will build Pacific minivans to enable easy integration of Alphabet's technology, which includes computers, sensors and software, according to the person.

The cars will just be for testing, and Alphabet won't sell any of the minivans, this person said.

Alphabet expects to begin taking the cars over the next several months, the person added.
