How Nuro is Revolutionizing Autonomous Deliveries in the US! So, It all began when Jiajun Zhu and Dave Ferguson, two engineers from Google’s self-driving car project, saw an opportunity to transform deliveries. They thought of creating autonomous vehicles for local deliveries and thus decided to quit their jobs to start Nuro in 2016. With $100k seed funding, they built the first working prototype in 2017 which made its first delivery in 2018. This was followed by a massive $92 million funding round that helped them launch the R1, a much-improved vehicle that could hold "12" grocery bags and became a "game-changer for local commerce." They also partnered with Domino’s, FedEx, and 7-Eleven to test deliveries using their vehicles, and the experiments were successful (even the California gov permitted them). By 2023, Nuro had completed over 1 million autonomous miles driven with zero at-fault incidents and was working on much larger projects. Today, Nuro is an $8.6 billion company with over $2 billion in funding from SoftBank, Tiger Global, and even Disney. So, is autonomous delivery the future?
