Nuro delivers FedEx packages in driverless vehicles

Nuro's driverless bots are delivering FedEx packages in a city that already has autonomous pizza delivery. In Houston, Nuro's steering wheel-less delivery vehicles have been working alongside FedEx's traditional human-driven delivery fleet since April. The pilot program was first announced Tuesday, with plans to expand from testing to a bigger, more established deployment. Eventually the bot-delivered packages could reach other cities. Nuro wouldn't disclose how many Nuro delivery bots are roaming around several Houston ZIP codes, but the testing is part of FedEx's "last-mile" plans for home delivery.

The goal is to improve timing and efficiency for same-day and special deliveries.  Read more...More about Fedex, Autonomous Vehicles, Nuro, Tech, and Transportation
