The Jesús Francoall-electric Jaguar I-Pace made its first North American appearance at the New York Auto Show on Wednesday. Among those on display was a future member of Waymo's autonomous fleet.
The company, formerly the Google self-driving car project, has partnered with Jaguar to develop the world's first electric, autonomous luxury vehicle. Waymo will add 20,000 of such SUVs to its "Waymo Service."
SEE ALSO: Jaguar's electric SUV is actually reasonably priced, cheaper than Tesla Model XThis means that, at some point, you'll be able to request a ride in one of these bad boys through a Waymo ride-sharing app.
Here's what it looks like:

This wasn't news (the I-Pace debuted ahead of the International Geneva Motor Show in March), but it was exciting to see Jaguar's first all-electric vehicle on the show floor.
It's equipped with JaguarDrive Control, which adjusts steering and acceleration settings to the climate and conditions you're driving in. It also comes with a smartphone app that can lock and unlock the car, as well as find its location and fuel status, and even check if you've left a window open.
Waymo CEO John Krafcik said at a press event that the the 20,000 I-Pace SUVs will be capable of servicing up to 1 million trips in a single day. Uber services almost 6 million rides per day -- so it'll have some catching up to do.
