This seems a little crazy. Even if the vehicle works as claimed, who will actually deliver the package one the vehicle arrives at its destination? Nor is 250 lbs very much cargo.

Ex-Google Engineers Unveil Self-Driving Delivery Vehicle
Package delivery is the “driving” force behind the creation of Nuro’s new autonomous electric vehicle.
Rich Pell | Feb 16, 2018

Robotics startup Nuro (Mountain View, Calif.) has unveiled an autonomous vehicle intended for delivering local packages—not people. Launched last year, Nuro was founded by two ex-Google engineers that had previously worked on the tech giant's self-driving car project. Now, they say, with their new venture they are focused on "delivering the future of local commerce, autonomously."

Their first project is a fully autonomous, self-driving electric vehicle for local goods transportation. Designed from the ground up "to keep what's outside even safer than what's inside," the vehicle has no need to accommodate human passengers and features no standard doors or windows.



The fully autonomous electric delivery vehicle developed by Nuro doesn't include a seat for a human passenger.

It also has no traditional manual driving controls such as a steering wheel or pedals, or even a seat for a human passenger. The vehicle's interior is customizable—with options such as racks, hangers, cargo bays, and refrigeration—to accommodate up to about 250 pounds of various types of goods.
