SAN FRANCISCO: Silicon Valley startup Nuro said on Jan 30 it raised US$92mil (RM358.58mil) to launch a self-driving delivery vehicle, joining automakers, shippers and a host of little-known companies developing autonomous vehicles for local commerce.
The company, co-founded by two former engineers from Google's self-driving car project, Dave Ferguson and Jiajun Zhu, opted to bypass the high-profile race for self-driving taxis to focus on goods delivery, which it says is easier to solve and will be quicker to market.
