For the first time, robotics company Nuro has been allowed to operate its own self-propelled vehicles commercially in California. The Silicon Valley company is set to begin offering driverless delivery services with the approval it received on Wednesday.
In this new service, a human operator will control several self-driving vehicles from a few miles away. As a result, the way to make a profit has opened up from the investment of self-driven technology in delivery service.
Nuro has been testing self-propelled vehicles on California roads since 2017. As a result, the state regulator allowed the company to test two driverless delivery vehicles in nine cities earlier this year.
The company says it will initially launch delivery services with Toyota Prius models. Then they will take to the streets with their own low-speed R-2 cars, where there are no pedals or steering wheels. There is only room for packing goods.
Nuro raised 500 million last month to add a new dimension to the e-commerce business in the Covid-19 epidemic.
Earlier in February, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration allowed the California Mountain View-based company to deliver goods without human control and 5,000 low-speed electric vehicles with looking glass and steering wheel.
