The Nuro team focused on the safety and well-being of other road users, the low cost of the vehicle, and the development of hardware and software for the further implementation of autonomous technologies.

Nuro currently cooperates with Domino’s, Walmart, Kroger, FedEx, Chipotle, and CVS Pharmacy. Partnerships with leading stores and services reduce the number of trips to stores, increase safety in neighborhoods, and give people more time to do the things they love to do.

To take advantage of offline delivery by R2, a user only needs to make an online order with one of Nuro’s partners. After placing an order for delivery, you must select «self-driving vehicle». Once R2 picks up the product, the buyer receives a link to track its movement and an access code to retrieve the order. When R2 arrives at the address, the user uses the access code and picks up their order, separated from other products in the vehicle.
