The self-driving cars of the future are ready for soccer moms.

Waymo, the recently rebranded Google self-driving car project, revealed its first new car on Monday. It's a revamped Chrysler Pacifica.

The cars aim to be ready to go on public roads by 2017, Waymo announced.

The self-driving car project that Google started seven years ago has grown into a company called Waymo. The new identity announced Tuesday marks another step in an effort to revolutionize the way people get around. Instead of driving themselves, people will be chauffeured in robot-controlled vehicles if Waymo, automakers and ride-hailing service Uber realize their vision within the next few years.

It's a far cry from the dorky-cute original Google car, which Waymo will also deploy. Waymo also has a fleet of Lexus SUVs, Wired reports. While the cars are reportedly for testing, you might still be able to ride in one.
