Nuro, a company founded by two Google engineers in 2016, is revolutionizing the delivery industry with its autonomous vehicles. Initially focused on delivering goods, not people, Nuro developed a unique approach to autonomous technology, prioritizing safety and efficiency. Their custom-built vehicles, the R1 and R2, have successfully completed thousands of deliveries in partnership with major retailers like Kroger, Domino's, and Uber Eats. With a strategic pivot to licensing their AI-powered self-driving technology, the "Nuro Driver," the company aims to accelerate the adoption of autonomous vehicles in various industries. Nuro's impact extends beyond convenience, with potential applications in addressing food deserts and reducing emissions. As the company continues to grow, it is poised to make a significant impact on the future of delivery and beyond.
