It will accelerate Delphi's commercialization of autonomous driving (AD) and Automated Mobility on-Demand (AMoD) solutions for automakers and new mobility customers worldwide. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close before the end of the year.

Once the transaction has been completed, Delphi will have AD operations in Boston, Pittsburgh, Singapore, Santa Monica, and Silicon Valley.  NT will remain in Boston, where both companies currently operate AMoD pilot programs. Through combining efforts with NT in Boston, Singapore, and other pilot cities around the world, Delphi will have 60 autonomous cars on the road across three continents by the end of the year.
