Chipotle invests in self-driving startup N<\/span><\/b>URO<\/span><\/b>\u00a0as it prepares for delivery\u2019s future<\/span><\/b><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Restaurant chain Chipotle<\/span><\/a>\u00a0believes consumers will one day receive food orders via autonomous delivery<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>They recently\u00a0<\/span>announced that it is participating in a $500 million funding round for autonomous delivery vehicle\u00a0<\/span>startup NURO<\/a>. <\/span>Th<\/span>is\u00a0<\/span>company was founded by two ex-Googlers and its dinky self-driving vans are already delivering for Domino\u2019s in some locations (<\/span>see\u00a0<\/span>video<\/span>\u00a0below<\/span>).<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

NURO, the self-driving delivery company started in 2016\u00a0<\/span>and it\u00a0<\/span>is moving into the pizza game. N<\/span>URO<\/span>\u2019s robot\u00a0<\/span>did\u00a0<\/span>start delivering Domino\u2019s pies and cheesy breads to customers in the Houston area<\/span>\u00a0in 2020<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0We kind of thought that the\u00a0<\/span>self-driving delivery had some hick ups\u00a0<\/span>as we haven\u2019t seen it in our streets in the Netherlands yet<\/span>. Probably because our streets are a bit crowdy and rural areas in the USA are\u00a0<\/span>a great place to start testing these\u00a0<\/span>vehicles. Check out the video, it explains how the autonomous delivery vehicle\u00a0<\/span>from N<\/span>URO<\/span>\u00a0works.\u00a0<\/span>The text will continue below the video.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
