Nuro and grocery chain Kroger are teaming up to bring unmanned delivery service to customers.
The companies said this week that Nuro’s unmanned vehicle, the R1, will be added to a fleet of autonomous Prius vehicles that have run self-driving grocery delivery service in Scottsdale, Ariz. with vehicle operators since August.
The R1 can travel on public roads and has no driver or passengers. It only transports goods.
Delivery service via the R1 or Prius vehicles is available for a single Fry’s Food Stores in Scottsdale. Customers will pay a flat fee of $5.95, with no minimum order requirement. Shoppers can place their orders immediately and request same-day or next-day delivery. Delivery service is available seven days a week.
