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.

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.
