The future is now. Nuro Inc, the start-up behind self-driving cars has been given regulatory permission for its grocery delivery robot vehicles to hit the road.
According to Bloomberg Law, the company won an exemption from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration allowing it to deploy a car without side mirrors, rear visibility, and a glazed windshield.
Essentially, this move by the NHTSA signifies that they believe the vehicles to be as safe as traditional cars, and will likely mean more similar vehicles on the road.
Nuro robots will eventually be allowed to deliver groceries and carry passengers.
