Autonomous delivery startup Nuro granted approval to function, rival Waymo One

The sphere wherein Nuro faces off the fully electric, driverless cab service Waymo One also has little to do with the geographical area

Nobody is naive to autonomous vehicles (AV) when it comes to the ease of transportation led by heavy reliance on the evolving automobile sector. But this unfamiliarity has multiplied since the emergence of Autonomous ride-hailing services like Waymo One, Cruise, Aurora, Boldly and TeleRetail.

Although the domains Waymo One and Nuro belong to differ greatly, the latter, a once-prominent autonomous startup, seems to be all set to compete with Waymo One and the other contenders, but in the realm of driverless services.

Nuro was allowed by the California Department of Motor Vehicles to commence inspecting its third-generation R3 autonomous delivery vehicle in four Bay Area cities.

The move propels the AV startup to undergo a fresh start after reeling through financial and other sorts of hindrances.

To test its unmanned delivery services, the areas permitted to Nuro by the regulatory body include Mountain View, Palo Alto, Los Altos and Menlo Park.

Nuro vehicles design

As far as the interior of Nuro's driverless cars is concerned, the manufacturers have accommodated space for nothing but goods and luggage.

While the interior space is ample, it lacks the fundamental components, such as seats, windows, steering wheels or pedals, which we usually get in a regular vehicle. This should not be anything to fret about, considering the purpose Nuro's vehicles are made to serve: not designed to carry passengers.

Nuro vs Waymo One

The sphere wherein Nuro faces off the fully electric, driverless cab service Waymo One also has little to do with the geographical area.

As the area now allotted to Nuro stretches beyond its former boundaries, it stands to facilitate the deployment of the third largest number of autonomous vehicles in the United States, after Waymo, Nuro co-founder Dave Ferguson said.
