Was there any timeline given when that order was announced? It could have been over five years, for all we know.



No they never gave a timeline. Waymo announced they had bought or were going to buy 600 Chrysler Pacificas, in summer 2017, then they later announced plans to buy 2,000 more, and then later announced plans to buy 60,000, but currently they still don't have all of those original 600 in operation. 5 years to get all those vehicles earning money is sounding optimistic to me. The complexity and the number of complications and hangups Waymo has to deal with just keeps piling on.
