Nuro, the SoftBank-funded robotics firm, is launching autonomous-vehicle grocery delivery from 2 Kroger stores in Houston
A self-driving Nuro vehicle parked outside a Fry's supermarket, which is owned by Kroger, as part of a pilot program for grocery deliveries in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Initially, the company used autonomous Toyota Priuses in Scottsdale. The first deliveries in Houston also will be done with Priuses. Nuro’s founders, Dave Ferguson and Jiajun Zhu, are veterans of Google’s self-driving car project, now known as Waymo. The company said in a release that they have made thousands of deliveries in Scottsdale.
