Silicon Valley startup Nuro said Thursday it obtained US regulatory authority to operate a fully autonomous delivery vehicle and would begin testing it in Texas in the coming weeks.
The California-based firm said it was the first company granted approval for a self-driving vehicle exemption by the US Department of Transportation.
Nuro said its R2 vehicle, designed to operate without any human driver, would be partnering with local businesses for “last-mile delivery of consumer products, groceries, and hot food from local stores and restaurants.”
