(Reuters) - Delphi Automotive Plc will buy self-driving software startup nuTonomy for $450 million, it said on Tuesday, helping the auto supplier put automated vehicles into commercial use in 2019, a year earlier than planned.
Boston-based nuTonomy is developing software systems to operate self-driving cars and manage commercial fleets of those vehicles.
Both Delphi and nuTonomy have been testing self-driving cars in Singapore and Boston.
Delphi said nuTonomy would continue to operate as an independent unit in Boston, in cooperation with Delphi's Ottomatika software unit in Pittsburgh.
