Avis Budget Group (NASDAQ: CAR) is no longer just a car-rental company. Last June, the company announced a partnership with Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL) to provide service for Waymo's fleet of self-driving vehicles, and that was just the opening salvo of a push to better align the business with some potentially revolutionary tech trends.I recently had the chance to discuss Avis Budget Group's connected car, autonomous vehicle, and fleet-management-as-a-service (FMaaS) initiatives with the company's chief innovation officer, Arthur Orduna.
