The Nuro Pizza delivery is real and Domino's has started using a Nuro delivery vehicle out of one of it's pizza stores in Woodland Heights located at 3209 Houston Ave.
The way the Nuro pizza delivery works is select customers who place a prepaid website order from the participating Domino's store can opt to have their order delivered by R2.
Customers who are selected will receive text alerts, which will update them on R2's location and provide them with a unique PIN to retrieve their order.
The cost of a Nuro robotic delivery vehicle is as much as $20,000.00
Nuro is owned by Dave Ferguson and Jiajun Zhu, two veterans of the Google self-driving car project that went on to become Waymo.
The Nuro car is an autonomous or driverless delivery vehicle and is the first company to receive an autonomous exemption from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Nuro is an American robotics company that is based in Mountain View, California and was founded by Jiajun Zhu and Dave Ferguson.
Nuro is one of the few companies that operates fully driverless vehicles — that is, vehicles without safety drivers behind the wheel on public roads today.
Nuro's current fleet of vehicles, which operates in California and Texas, have traveled over 1 million miles autonomously without any major safety incidents.
Nuro is a privately held company and therefore does not have a public stock price.
However, you may access Nuro private market stock price with Forge Data.

A car cannot fully drive itself with passengers in the passenger seat and no driver in the driver seat.
I would not want to ride in a driverless car if there were nobody to take control of the vehicle.
The software could mess up or something could happen to the car and cause you to go off the road, veer into traffic etc.
A person may operate an autonomous vehicle with the automated driving system engaged on public roads in most states with a licensed human driver
However the locations of Phoenix, San Francisco and Austin are currently the only cities where the public can hail a driverless robotaxi, but that list could grow by a dozen or more within the next year.
Since 2017, 27 states have put laws on the books allowing driverless vehicles to operate—though there is variation between states in whether they require a human driver to be behind the wheel and ready to take over.
Only a few states allow a vehicle to be completely independent of a human operator on the
Even if it is legal I would never get into a fully driverless vehicle without a driver in the seat and especially not on highways or interstates but maybe just around town wouldn't be so bad.
However I enjoy driving and don't want a driverless vehicle.
