Domino's is hoping to bring you pizza without the aid of a driver using autonomous cars.

— in Ann Arbor, Michigan, where the chain is headquartered, and in Miami, which ended in late 2018. The company has not disclosed how much it has invested in these tests but said the Nuro and Ford partnerships are separate.

Customers who order online from Domino's participating locations will have the opportunity to use Nuro's autonomous delivery. Once they've opted in to the feature, they can track the delivery via the Domino's app and will be given a unique code to open the delivery compartment and get their order. "For our stores, the vehicles could be most valuable during busy ordering times, when having an additional delivery option could be operationally impactful. We would expect that once the vehicles are more of a market reality, stores could choose to use a mix of traditional deliveries with a driver, and unmanned vehicle deliveries, depending on the preferences of the customer," Vasconi said.
