The model being used by so many brands for healthy groceries, prescription drugs, and hot foods is the R2. So, there must be some sort of sensor that detects abnormal driving like a sudden stop and whether cargo has been affected. Oh, and Nuro says if we’re talking pizza, another one will be sent without delay. What if someone crosses the road out in front of the vehicle? A sudden stop could hurt the passengers inside, but if it’s just cargo, messy groceries are better than a medical bill and a lawsuit. Not only does this make it a purpose-built vehicle, but those at Nuro designed the vehicle with outside variables in mind. Each vehicle is built and designed to carry goods. Nuro is the robotics company behind an all-electric self-driving vehicle used as a delivery service by many brands, including Kroger, Walmart, Chipotle, CVS Pharmacy, and yes, now Domino’s. ![]() This has been accomplished by a joint-venture by Domino’s Pizza and Nuro. With purpose-built vehicles (PBVs) also on the rise for things like shopping and delivery, an automated van that keeps the pizza hot and drives itself to the customer is one for the history book. After the ABC Google Waymo self-driving project got certified for public transportation and became the Waymo One robotaxi, many startups have popped up, working on their own tech, and many companies are buying in from various industries. Did anyone see that new Domino’s commercial? The one with the self-driving pizza delivery van?! Like – whaaaaat? That got me psyched, I don’t know about anyone else, but that’s straight out of Black Mirror, the Netflix TV anthology, and we were all kind of waiting for this to happen. ![]()
