Move over DOM and make way for Nurorider

 


Today, Domino’s announced will start delivering pizzas via Nuro driverless cars in Houston. This pilot program allows select customers in Houston to make a prepaid delivery order. The customers receive texts with updates on the car's location and a numerical code that can be used to retrieve the order.

Domino's:

Meet DOM. Our newest (and arguably cutest) recruit to the Domino’s family. He might look a little different to our current team of Delivery Experts and that’s because he is! 

DOM (previously known as ‘DRU – Domino’s Robotic Unit’) is an autonomous delivery vehicle set to take the world by storm. With sleek, refined forms combined with a friendly persona and lighting to help customers identify and interact effectively, he is a world-first in the space of commercial autonomous delivery.

He is a four-wheeled vehicle with compartments built to keep the customer’s order piping hot and drinks icy cold whilst travelling on the footpath at a safe speed from the store to the customer’s door. He is able to navigate from a starting point to his destination, selecting the best path to travel and his on-board sensors enable him to perceive obstacles along the way and avoid them if necessary.
