7-11, Nuro begin autonomous vehicle deliveries in California

7-Eleven has teamed up with Nuro for autonomous vehicle deliveries in Mountain View, California. Residents can place orders through the 7Now app and an AV might bring the items to their location.

 

Autonomous deliveries won't cost customers anything extra. They're available from 8AM until 9PM PT every day, and the companies say orders should arrive in around 30 minutes. When the AV arrives, customers collect their items from the rear. There are some limitations. You won't be able to order age-restricted items — such as alcohol, tobacco or lottery tickets — for autonomous delivery.

To my knowledge this is the first time autonomous vehicles are being used for anything like this.

(sigh) I had to tell the door dash guy that no one lived in the apt across from me as he was taking a picture of the order on the hallway floor he was leaving yesterday.He looked again & realized he was leaving it at apt 1017 instead of down the hall where the people who ordered it live. I can just see the self driving car trying to deliver my pizza to the 10th floor.....
