Domino's serves up self-driving pizza delivery pilot in Houston

Domino's really emphasizes its commitment to "innovation," but even if it's a marketing tactic, the global pizza brand does indeed walk the walk. Autonomous-driving tech startup Nuro was founded by Dave Ferguson and Jiajun Zhu, two veterans of Google's self-driving car project (which became Waymo), and now includes a team of self-driving engineers with experience at Waymo, Apple, Uber, GM and Tesla. Domino's will make use of Nuro's fleet of autonomous test vehicles to deliver pizzas to people in Houston who order through their app or online, and the pizzas will be delivered using Nuro's R2 vehicle, a second generation of its fully autonomous electric test car, which will go into service later this year.
