There had been a lot of rumors about an OS internally called andromeda that would merge android and ChromeOs:

Then there was an interview in which Google's Hiroshi Lockheimer stated that what would most likely happen is each OS gaining features from each other like how ChromeOS can run android apps and how android is using some of chrome's updating methods. you can read the article:

Its hard to say but it seems the andromeda thing is real. I personally think andromeda is just more ChromeOs features put into android. andromeda might just be android O.

Doubt they'll merge the two, but they will have a cross platform OS with Fuchsia, which may very well supplant both.
