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.
