Domino's brings self-driving pizza delivery pilot to Houston | IOL Business Report

The chain, known as a technology leader in the restaurant industry, is teaming up with Nuro, a Bay Area robotics startup run by a pair of former Google employees. To start, Domino’s will send food to customers from a single store in the Texas city using one of Nuro’s fully autonomous vehicles.

The Nuro partnership will help the chain determine if autonomous vehicles are a way for its restaurants to keep up with demand during busy times when drivers are in short supply, he said. Autonomous vehicles are also being embraced by grocers as food shopping slowly shifts online and traditional chains try to combat e-commerce giant Amazon.com Inc. Kroger Co. has done a test with Nuro in Arizona and is currently using its autonomous driving technology in Houston.

Pizza Hut, a chain that made its name with sit-down dining and is now trying to catch up with rivals on delivery, teamed up with Toyota Motor Corp. last year to work toward driverless delivery.
