Walmart: Launches Robotic Delivery Pilot
- Walmart is partnering with autonomous vehicle company Nuro to launch a new pilot program
- The service, which will begin testing next year, will also use R2 Nuro’s custom-built delivery vehicle
- Then the service carries products only; there are no onboard drivers or passengers
- Nuro’s vision of using robotics to improve lives runs parallel with Walmart’s mission of helping customers live better
- Technology is progressing as consumer attitudes shift on what constitutes effective deliveries
- Earlier this year, Walmart partnered with Udelv to test autonomous grocery deliveries in Arizona
