Nuro, Inc. is a U.S.-based robotics and autonomy company headquartered in Mountain View, California. Founded in 2016 by former Waymo engineers Jiajun Zhu and Dave Ferguson, Nuro focuses on developing fully autonomous, electric vehicles designed specifically for goods delivery rather than passenger transport.

The company’s first-generation vehicle, the R1, demonstrated the viability of small, self-driving delivery robots. It was followed by the R2, which was the first fully autonomous vehicle approved by the U.S. Department of Transportation to operate without a steering wheel, pedals, or seating. Recently, Nuro introduced the R3, featuring modular inserts, double the cargo space, and temperature-controlled compartments to serve a wide range of delivery needs.

Nuro’s Nuro Driver™ Level 4 autonomy platform has accumulated more than 1.4 million autonomous miles without a single at-fault incident, showcasing the reliability and safety of its AI-driven system. Originally known for pilot programs with companies such as Kroger, Domino’s, CVS, 7-Eleven, and Uber Eats, Nuro has recently shifted its strategy toward licensing its autonomy platform to automakers and mobility operators.

Backed by billions in funding, Nuro is valued at $6 billion and is expanding into new areas such as robotaxi development in partnership with major automakers and mobility providers. With a strong focus on scalability, safety, and innovation, Nuro is positioned as a leader in the future of autonomous logistics and urban mobility.
