FedEx Corp. said that it agreed to test Nuro's autonomous
delivery vehicle within its operations.
The multi-year, multi-phase collaboration between FedEx and Nuro
launched in April with a pilot program across the Houston area. The
pilot marks Nuro's expansion into parcel logistics and lets FedEx
look at various use cases for on-road autonomous-vehicle logistics,
including multi-stop and appointment-based deliveries, the
companies said.
Nuro has been developing and testing its self-driving technology
for nearly five years, including on-road deployment in multiple
cities and regulatory approvals. The company has established
partnerships with grocery, restaurant and pharmacy companies.
"This multi-year commitment will allow us to truly collaborate
and bring Nuro's powerful technology to more people in new ways,
and eventually reach large-scale deployment," said Cosimo Leipold,
Nuro's head of partnerships.
