The electricity revolution in a full swing and has opened the door to an autonomous and self-driving future. Modern cars are currently able to carry out level 2 autonomy using a variety of fennel driving aids (advanced assistance systems) such as adaptive shipping control and automatic emergency braking, for several names. However, old car makers such as Mercedes-Benz, General Motors, Ford, and BMW forge the Tesla path in perfecting autonomous level 3.

Self-Driving cars are only a stone’s throw away from the reality of production, but there are new types of electric vehicles that make waves for their innovative applications in self-driving technology. We talk about a silent (literal) revolution led by a shipping vehicle without a driver. Amazon’s online retail giant obtained a self-driven startup zoox in 2020 at a price of $ 1.2 billion to use autonomous vehicles for travel services.
Meanwhile, the driver maker without driver Nuro collected $ 600 million in funding at the end of 2021 and signed a five -year partnership with Google Cloud to increasingly hone their products. In January 2022, Nuro presented a shipping vehicle without a third generation driver and called it the most sophisticated and safest zero-world vehicle ever made by the company.
The future of retail delivery
Nuro began partnering with Walmart in 2019 and CVS Pharmacy in 2020 to send food and medicine to customers in Houston. Then in April 2021, Nuro sealed a partnership with Domino’s Pizza to provide newly baked PAIs for Houston -based clients. In addition, Nuro was the first autonomous vehicle to operate legally on public roads even though he did not have windshields and side mirrors. Everything sounds good and cool, but how does everything work?
The latest generation Nuro has a concise footprint and without a driver who requires fewer road space. It may be small, but has a compartment to hold almost 500 pounds of food. The storage compartment has a heating and cooler function to ensure that food remains hot or cold when traveling. This vehicle has an electric motor installed behind and a substantial battery package that lasts a day full of delivery from one charging (per nuro).
Drivering vehicle without driver: How does it work?
Nuro traveled around the city using cameras, lidar, and radar which gave a view of 360 degrees about the environment (per nuro). Customers can order online and use applications to track their orders. Customers will receive a security code when the vehicle arrives at the edge of the road. Then the final step is to enter the security code on the touch screen mounted on the side to open the cargo compartment and reveal the items in it.
Drivering vehicles without drivers such as Nuro make life more accessible and economical by eliminating the need for direct tasks. It also helps curb CO2 emissions by operating with zero emissions and using 100% renewable electricity to recharge the battery. “Five years ago, we departed to build vehicle services and autonomous shipments designed to carry out their duties, giving people back valuable time,” said Dave Ferguson, one of the founders and President Nuro (via Business Wire). “With the introduction of our new mainstay model and the breakthrough of our new production facilities … We are very happy with the opportunity to fulfill our vision to improve our daily lives through autonomous delivery on a scale.”
