Nuked nuro is the first company in California that’s allowed to operate autonomous cars. The company received a permit that allowed it to test its robots earlier this year. This allows the firm to charge people for the service.
Nuro’s chief legal and policy officer says it’s likely to be a delivery service that can make use of its driverless Prius vehicles. The company plans on (literally) rolling out its own custom R2 bots later on.
The DMV has issued a permit to operate its delivery service in parts of Santa Clara and San Mateo counties. The company only allows the company to operate in some areas of the Silicon Valley and its tech workers would be within its domain, but not San Francisco or Oakland.
The vehicles will only be allowed on surface streets with a speed limit of 35 miles an hour (and the bots are only allowed to go 25 mph). Do n’t expect to see an driverless Prius zipping along the freeway to make a delivery anytime soon.
